Although this is about retraining the immune system not to attack transplant organs, I know the same tech is being researched by scientists at UK universities for RA. I hope as a by product of transplant research, we get some benefit too. Even if we are a owners of a relatively rare condition.

    Makes sense it might be transferable @Arthuritis given ciclosporin which we have as a DMARD is also used for some people who have had transplants.

    Thanks for that good to see you are still researching away for us.
