A New Approach to Treating Autoimmune Disease
Date: 8.6.2008
In **autoimmune diseases**, the immune system turns against the body’s own tissues and organs, wreaking havoc and destruction for no apparent reason. Partly because the origins of these diseases are so obscure, no effective treatment exists, and the suffering they inflict is enormous.
Now Weizmann Institute scientists have developed a **method** that in the future may make it possible to treat autoimmune diseases effectively without necessarily knowing their exact cause.
