Revisiting the CD40-CD40L axis: from mechanistic insight to therapeutic renewal in autoimmune disease

Next-generation CD40L and CD40-directed therapies are redefining costimulatory blockade in autoimmunity. Integrating preclinical discoveries with clinical translation offers new opportunities to optimize treatment and transform management of B cell-driven autoimmune disease.

Abstract

Next-generation CD40L and CD40-directed therapies are redefining costimulatory blockade in autoimmunity. Integrating preclinical discoveries with clinical translation offers new opportunities to optimize treatment and transform management of B cell-driven autoimmune disease.
