Cause of rare devastating, autoimmune disease in Puerto Ricans–and possible cure

The linked article is about scientists developing a new treatment for a rare and devastating autoimmune disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). GBS is a condition where the immune system attacks the nerves, leading to muscle weakness and, in some cases, paralysis. The article discusses how researchers have discovered a targeted therapy that can block the immune response, potentially preventing or reversing the symptoms of GBS. This breakthrough could significantly improve the lives of patients with this debilitating condition and provide a new avenue for further research into autoimmune disorders.
