This session will look into the effect of cell metabolism in modulating immune responses in autoimmune diseases.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the effects of secondary metabolites that may act as epigenetic regulations and influence immune responses.
  • Discuss the particular mechanisms by which epigenetic regulation may contribute to heightened immune responses in lupus.
  • Identify mechanisms by which extracellular cues influence lymphocyte death and differentiation in efforts to control inflammatory diseases.

Presentations:

  • 12:00 PM – 12:15 PM PT
