A single injection that could cure rheumatoid arthritis is being developed by British scientists.
The treatment works like a vaccine and could be available within five years. Cells would be taken from the body, altered, and injected back into the affected joint.
A team at Newcastle University will now test the vaccine on volunteers with the disease.
Scientists in the field are extremely excited about the development.
