Autoimmune Disease Research

Autoimmune disease research focuses on understanding conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells, thinking they are foreign invaders. This can lead to various health issues, affecting organs and systems, such as in rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Researchers study the causes, which may include genetics, environmental triggers, and infections, to find effective treatments and potential cures. Advances in this field aim to improve diagnosis, develop therapies, and enhance quality of life for those affected by autoimmune disorders, ultimately working toward better management and understanding of these complex diseases.
