- prplfshhttps://www.astrazeneca.com/what-science-can-do/topics/next-...AstraZeneca is doing some really interesting research in this area - cell therapies that reset the immune system to eliminate the dysfunctional cells driving autoimmune disease, and then allow a healthy immune system to rebuild (for diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis).

A landmark study from Keio University (published March 2026 in Science Immunology) has identified a key mechanism linking the gut to MS. This opens the door to new MS treatments targeting the gut itself — such as modifying gut bacteria or blocking the abnormal antigen-presenting activity of IECs — rather than broadly suppressing the immune system
- maxall4I was part of a team researching MS at a university a while ago. It truly is an endlessly fascinating disease. Most evidence currently points to MS being caused by a combination of Epstein-Barr infection and genetic factors [0,1]. It is hypothesized that Epstein-Barr triggers autoimmunity which results in the prototypical demyelination [2].[0]: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj8222[1]: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2424986122[2]: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04432-7
