CAR T-Cells May Reset Rheumatoid Arthritis | Health and Fitness News
Description
Scientists are testing CAR T-cell therapy—normally used for cancer—to see if it can reset the immune system in severe, treatment-resistant rheumatoid arthritis. In a small trial of six patients, the therapy dramatically reduced disease activity, with three going into full remission and off all meds. By reprogramming the patient’s own cells to target harmful B cells, this approach may reach hidden disease sites and offer a cure-like solution—not just symptom management. While still experimental, early results are groundbreaking, and larger trials are underway to compare effectiveness against current treatments.
