Did you know? Immune tolerization is a promising approach to treating autoimmune diseases like NMOSD. 🌱

1️⃣ Immune tolerance is your body’s natural way of protecting you from threats like infections or cancer—without harming your own healthy cells.

2️⃣ In autoimmune diseases, this tolerance is too weak, causing the immune system to attack the body’s own tissues.

3️⃣ Immune tolerization aims to “re-train” the immune system so it stops attacking healthy cells, restoring balance.
