Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed
In my understanding this could reverse the autoimmune reaction to Type 1 Diabetes not regrow the already killed β-cells.
I was wondering about that, curing Type 1 Diabetes would be a HELL of a breakthrough.
Curing it would lead to massive losses of a specific industry.
It really would. I fear that anything remotely close to a “cure” would be thwarted by pharma because they profit so much from insulin.
I switched jobs a few months ago, and had about 2 weeks without insurance. my insulin prescription was over $4k.
I know that “pharma” can’t just shut something down… but I’m sure there’s some loophole
That’s the way it reads, yes.
It would, if effective in human use, stop new damage, but not reverse existing damage.
