RE: 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine: Scientists uncover how the immune system keeps itself in check

Don´t be too optimistic regarding future therapies. These discoveries are from the early 2000ies, so >20y old and still autoimmune diseases are more widespread as ever and causal treatment not available.

You’re right — translating discoveries like this into actual treatments takes painfully long, and autoimmune diseases are still a massive challenge.
What’s fascinating, though, is how this early work laid the groundwork for what’s finally moving now — especially in T-reg and immune tolerance research. It’s one of those “slow burn” breakthroughs that only look modest until the next big leap builds on it.
