Therefore, the immune system will start attacking tissues and substances, which will eventually lead to ongoing sickness and can be fatal. When it comes to autoimmune diseases, there are two ways in which stem cell treatments can work.
Firstly, it can repair the regenerative tissues impacted by the autoimmune system’s attack. Additionally, it can repair the nerves, blood, organs, skin, and others, in order to help the patient regain their health. These treatments often fight the degenerative nature of autoimmune diseases.
Secondly, stem cells could prevent the immune system from attacking the body, by minimizing its pathological effects. However, even though the immune system won’t be able to attack itself anymore, it will still be able to attack real pathogens and viruses.
