A peek inside some leading research labs shows how scientists-turned-detectives are painstakingly decoding what causes autoimmune diseases and how to stop the immune system from attacking you instead of protecting you. Researchers use laser-powered machinery and brightly colored fluorescent dyes to tell rogue cells from normal ones. Take Type 1 diabetes, caused when cells in the pancreas that produce insulin are gradually killed off by rogue T cells.
