Researchers have discovered several rare types of helper T cells that are associated with immune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and even asthma. The discoveries were made possible by a newly developed technology they call ReapTEC. The new T cell atlas is publicly available and should help in the development of new drug therapies for immune-mediated diseases.

That looks like a pretty important discovery. Instead of "there's this disease, but we don't know why people have it", there's an actual target for therapies. Maybe checking the blood of PWME might identify some of these enhancers?
