I wonder of this can be used for Hashimoto thyroiditis

That probably depends on how much the thyroid function has been degraded already.

Whether CAR T will help stop the degradation is a separate question.

yeah true, my wifes likely to continue to need treatment, though it shouldnt degrade much more if it works.

On my daughter it may save her a lot of trouble she's only 14.

There are SO many more important autoimmune disorders, but it would be so nice to see a cure for alopecia in my lifetime.
