New 'suicide' molecule halts rheumatoid arthritis

[Brando]

I realize this is about rheumatoid arthritis but many of the same treatments are used for RA as Crohn's and since the immune response/process is much the same for both diseases this new discovery could have some hope for us as well.

Wow, this is really exciting news for people with RA... And it's fascinating from a scientific perspective. It's good to see that there's people out there who are creative and intelligent enough to figure out such novel therapies. It would be cool if we could see some benefit from this too.
