I hope this leads to a renaissance in immune disease treatment.
Immune related diseases are absolutely hellish, if your immune system one day decides to make your life hard/painful through one of the million possible attack vectors, we basically have little treatment besides taking steroids to blunt your whole immune system.
Coming up with therapies that can shape your immune system would be an absolute game changer.

There are dozens of drugs suppressing and amplifying different aspects of the immune system. Multiple Sclerosis is one of the three most expensive disease in the world, and its drugs have multiple mechanisms of action. There are even dozens of cancer-specific immune therapies.
