Before we get overhyped about this piece of research let’s read the original paper rather than just the Guardian article!:

Remember the study was based on only 5 patients!👆

The problem I have with all these new therapies is hours of hospital based infusions and re-infusions:

“…In this clinical trial, doctors took T-cells from the lupus patients and modified them so that, on re-infusion, they attacked the patients’ B-cells. In lupus, B-cells produce autoantibodies, which instead of defending the body against invading pathogens, attack healthy tissues instead.…”

hours and hours instead of a lifetime…….

Lifetime?

No it’s pills versus needles. Comprendez?

Don’t like needles.
