Summary
In this episode of the Young Immunologist podcast, Nóra Balzer interviews Jana Sonner, a postdoc at the University Medical Center in Hamburg, discussing the intersection of multiple sclerosis (MS) and pregnancy. They explore how autoimmune diseases typically affect women during their reproductive years, the unique immunological changes that occur during pregnancy, and the implications for maternal and fetal health. The conversation delves into the mechanisms of maternal immune tolerance, the role of GDF15, and the latest research findings on MS and pregnancy. Jana emphasizes the need for more research in reproductive immunology and the importance of including pregnant women in clinical trials to improve treatment outcomes.
Takeaways
- Pregnancy can suppress disease activity in autoimmune diseases.
- Autoimmune diseases often onset during women's reproductive years.
- MS does not typically affect fertility or pregnancy outcomes.
- Disease-modifying therapies may pose risks during pregnancy.
- Maternal immune tolerance is crucial for pregnancy success.
- GDF15 plays a role in immune regulation during pregnancy.
- Peripheral immune system adapts significantly during pregnancy.
- Exclusive breastfeeding may lower postpartum relapse risk in MS.
- Research in reproductive immunology is still underfunded and underexplored.
- Inclusion of pregnant women in clinical trials is essential for better treatment.
