Autoimmune Diseases and Immune Modulation: Current Research and Future Outlook
This special issue belongs to the section "Immunology and Immunotherapy".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autoimmune diseases (ADs), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjogren's disease (SS) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), have a significant impact on patients’ quality of life and impose significant economic and psychological burdens on society and families. For this reason, in recent years, the attention has focused on the etiological and pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these immune disorders, with particular reference to the possible mechanisms of immune modulation and potential therapeutic targets. In this field, molecules, such as CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor), Treg cells, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), exosomes, gut microbiota dysbiosis, vitamin D, macrophages and neutrophils in innate and adaptive immunity conditions have acquired growing interest.
Studying these molecules plays an important role in representing not only potential diagnostic markers, but also possible targets for the immune-modulation therapy of autoimmune disorders.
