Chronic fatigue syndrome is debilitating & often underdiagnosed, especially in women. @theguardian.com shares a first-hand account: shorturl.at/2hhUK We’re funding research to better understand chronic pain, including Dr Robert Drake’s work on sex differences in pain development: shorturl.at/a4TzV

Type I interferons are a key driver of muscle damage in autoimmune myositis. Using two mouse models, this study showed that tofacitinib reduces the IFN signature in muscle, and that IFNβ overexpression directly induces muscle inflammation and weakness A&R doi.org/10.1002/art....
