Woman With Three Deadly Diseases Has ‘Remarkable’ Recovery After Cell Therapy
10th April 2026
A woman who lived with three life-threatening autoimmune diseases for more than a decade has returned to a near-normal life after a cell therapy reset her wayward immune system.
The 47-year-old had had nine different treatments, none of which had a lasting impact, before receiving the therapy last year at University Hospital Erlangen in Germany. At the time, she required daily blood transfusions and permanent blood thinning medication to control her illness.
Within weeks of having the cell therapy, doctors noticed that all three diseases had responded, marking a world first and a striking improvement in the woman’s condition. For the past 14 months she has been in treatment-free remission and largely able to return to normal life.
