Autoinflammation is a disorder of natural (innate) immunity, which can be monogenic, or acquired. Monogenic autoinflammatory diseases include inflammasomopathies, actinopathies, endoplasmic reticulum stress mutations, NFκB-associated diseases, interferonopathies, mutations in endogenous antagonist genes, and DADA2. Acquired autoinflammatory diseases include numerous inflammatory rheumatological diseases, intestinal, skin and bone diseases, as well as other conditions (e.g., VEXAS, IgG4-related disease, recurrent pericarditis, type 2 diabetes, interstitial lung disease). In this summary, we review the concept and main mechanisms of autoinflammation, the most important monogenic and acquired autoinflammatory conditions, the role of inborn errors of immunity in autoinflammation, as well as the possible therapeutic options.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
