When do you think sjogren cure will be found?

I did not answer the poll, as I believe we may see some progress, but not recovery in the next 20 years.

Honestly, I don't think the medical community is interested in cures but long term treatments they can make a lot of money on. Sorry to be so negative. I also think it 's very complex with auto immune diseases.   If any thing, the alternative medicine people will be onto something before main stream medicine. But, there is always a little hope. Who knows, some researcher may stumble upon something that helps. I think genetics is a major contributor to start off and it goes from there for us.

The road to a cure started with the human genome project.

This article is in part why I made the earlier statement... these findings would not have been possible without the preceding research.

My guess is it is good news for humanity, not necessarily humans living today.  I think many diseases will be easily managed or cured with 100 years from now.  Too many advances in too many fields to not figure these things out...eventually.  Small steps along the way.  In the scope of human history, 100 years is not much time.  For those of us that won't be here in 60 years, we are only in this life for a short time anyway, carpe diem.
