'Only a single dosage was needed to suppress autoimmunity completely, and this dosage was able to target both T cells and B cells – two common factors in autoimmune diseases. What's more, there was no long-term impact on healthy immunity in the mice studied.'

As such, the authors think they have found "an effective and broadly applicable approach to treating autoimmune diseases without jeopardising healthy immunity."
