Abstract:
Autoimmunity reflects the destruction of host tissue by the immune system. In my laboratory we are focused on understanding autoimmunity and the complex regulation of the autoimmune process. We believe that host defense mechanisms, which are normally activated to fight microorganisms, can malfunction and attack self. The role of cytokines and other host-elicited factors are a major focus of our group.

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.
