Get rid of background noise!

Sir Tim Hunt explained the complexity that arises in biological organisms in the most eloquent ways. His statement was based on the evolution of species. The previous basic pathways used to perform the task is 'replaced' efficient pathways of performing specific tasks. The basic task is actually not replaced, it is just not used, it fades into the background. But, nevertheless, it is always there. This is what make the cell a complex structure. 

As a researcher you need to know how to focus on the pathways that matter and not to be deterred by the background pathways. Going along this logic, I believe this same mindset should be used when determining the auto-immune diseases. (I have not yet checked the literature to assume that this mindset has not been used). 

The immune system is already a complex one, if we are able to extract the essential proteins involved in the disease then I believe it would lead to a quicker understanding of what goes wrong in autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis.
