why is it so hard for science to fight autoimmune diseases?
In: 14
the nature of the disease itself make it difficult ot fight, since its your own system attacking you, and most of the modern medicine we make use of regarding handling common dieseases relies on our immune response to be ” trained” into targetting what it should.
this is made near impossible when the target is the healthy cells in the body and the only “reliable” treatments so far involve supressing the immune system(which can lead to infection) or outright wiping out the immune system and get a viable replacement(bone marrow transplant)
