I found this headline "Trigger for autoimmune disease identified", you can read the news here:
https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-05/njh-tfa051017.php (https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-05/njh-tfa051017.php)
I copy the first paragraph:
"Researchers at National Jewish Health have identified a trigger for autoimmune diseases such as lupus, Crohn's disease and multiple sclerosis. The findings, published in the April 2017 issue of Journal of Clinical Investigation, help explain why women suffer autoimmune disease more frequently than men, and suggest a therapeutic target to prevent autoimmune disease in humans. "
I know that we have to be very careful with news and headlines because sometimes there is a big gap between the texts and the reality, but I think it is an interesting issue to share.
Excellent article. This discovery and research should produce more treatments and also possible prevention of autoimmune diseases.
Thanks for posting the link.
