This misdirected response can cause inflammation, pain, fatigue, and damage to organs or entire systems. More than 80 autoimmune conditions have been identified by medical professionals, but some are far more common and better understood than others.

These treatments aim to remove autoreactive B cells or reprogram immune balance with a single infusion, potentially producing long remissions without chronic immunosuppression. Early phase trials and reviews from 2024\u20132025 report promising clinical responses but also emphasize the need for larger studies to confirm safety and durability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><em>Why it matters<\/em>: If successful, CAR-T approaches could replace years of continuous immunosuppressive therapy for select patients.
