Lupus means your immune system turns on your own joints, skin, kidneys, and other organs, and the cycles of flare-ups can be exhausting. One approach being explored uses mesenchymal stem cells grown from a donor's umbilical cord, designed to find inflamed areas and help calm the overactive immune response.
