Interestingly Naviaux is also studying autism.

Boston researchers have found signs of T cell-induced inflammation in autism indicating some cases of the disease may be autoimmune or an inflammatory condition triggered during pregnancy.

Current research into how and why T cells breach the blood-brain barrier and a link to an autoimmune genetics signature could provide clues about the origin of autism.

Notably researchers are looking at receptors on the T cells to try to identify what's provoking them.
