When T-cells Attack

Daniel MuellerImagine not being able to tell the difference between good and bad, between healthy and unhealthy, between normal and infected. Now, imagine if this inability was fostered in a T-cell, whose sole purpose is to target and fight infections. The result? A variety of diseases that affect roughly five percent of our population.

"Rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, and diabetes are illnesses where the lymphocytes [T-cells] have lost the ability to see the difference between the infection and the body's own tissue," says physician-scientist Dan Mueller, head of the Division of Rheumatic and Autoimmune Disease in the Department of Medicine at the Medical School.
