Exciting research!

A new type of vaccine developed by researchers at the University of

Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) has shown in

the lab setting that it can completely reverse autoimmune diseases like

multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes — all without shutting down the

rest of the immune system."

“In the past, we showed that we could use this approach to prevent

autoimmunity,” said Jeffrey Hubbell, the Eugene Bell Professor in Tissue

Engineering and lead author of the new paper. “But what is so exciting

about this work is that we have shown that we can treat diseases like

multiple sclerosis after there is already ongoing inflammation, which is

more useful in a real-world context.”

I would be interested to know which molecule they would need to tag in our case.

This is very exciting! Thank you for sharing. I wonder how long it would take for this to hit the mainstream?

very exciting but they would need a precise gene/identifier to tackle PMR and GCA. since it is unknown as to the cause and there is no precise test to indicate the disease a lot of research needs to go into this area if this new vaccine has any chance of helping us.
