    TLDR would be that any autoimmune disease could see this helping. It “removes/erases” the white blood cells memory of the bodily molecule that we don’t want destroyed from their list of things to destroy.

    That's incredible, and revolutionary if it works. I wonder if allergies will ever be treated in this way aswell

    With my beginner understanding of the immune response, they could if this is successful. Since allergies are the immune response to an external stimuli instead of an internal stimuli like an autoimmune disorder.
