Targeted Treatment for RA? | Arthritis Information

I received this earlier in the week from my future son-in-law.  I found it very interesting and I thought I'd share

 
 
I went to a seminar today about a new method of developing targeted 
drugs for various diseases.  The one linked below has a remarkable 
efficacy for targeted killing of T-cells and only T-cells.  Based on 
the talk it is likely to be through trials by next year sometime.  It 
is a new and somewhat complex and convoluted method of inhibiting T-
cells but pretty cool.

ps...He's has a PHD in chemistry and is doing his postdoc in Boston, just to give you a reference
first of all. I"m not surprised that your SIL2B cares about you and your health..... I patiently (?) await the results of the trials......
 
thanks..
