(I went to Nature medicine to look at the full article but you have to pay.)Hyperactivity in the immune system causes a state of inflammation and if its chronic, these inflammation will affect our body. In a recent research, a new type of regulatory blood cells have been identified that can fight such hyperactive T-Cell - hyperactivity of immune cells.
No doubt the study may have its flaws, I am enthused that research into inflammation is occurring and getting some insight.
And in our lifetime, we may get some answers to the 'WHY' the inflammation is so bad.
