Sounds promising to me.The newer method is basically "tricking" the body using a method that... the human body already came up with. Cells flagging the wrong thing apparently happens all the time, so there are multiple defenses against immune disease, and one of them is in the liver. So scientists figured out a way to tell the body "hey, you flagged this wrong" and sent it to the liver and the liver/body recognized this signal.

If you have celiac and want to join the clinical trials, here's the link https://anokion.com/pipeline/synced/

Yeah but do you really want a flag on each cell?

So what does this mean in layman term

There are illnesses where the body’s immune system response is the primary cause of damage to the body. It’s a function of the immune system that we’re supposed to have, but is triggered erroneously, causing any type of complication including death.

This finding helps avert a number of such type of illnesses.

Sounds like that's what the body's doing anyway, and it's getting it wrong when you've got such a disease.

Medicine is one of the few areas of advancement that can still completely wow me.
