Conventional therapy for autoimmune diseases suppresses general immune function to modulate this uncontrolled inflammation. The drawback is that these treatments are largely non-selective and thus blunt the overall immune response, placing patients at a higher risk for life-threatening infection. To overcome the limitation of conventional therapies, discovering new selective treatments that cause minimal disruption to immune homeostasis remains critical.
