Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Autoimmune Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue, dedicated to autoimmunity, attempts to present autoimmune diseases (ADs) into a comprehensive overview of how the immune system turns against self targeting in different conditions according to a balance determined by the genetic predisposition of the host, its gender, epigenetic factors, environmental circumstances and other co-factors. Moreover current knowledge from human and animal models are welcome regarding pathogenic mechanisms of autoimmune diseases, clinical aspects of specific autoimmune diseases, as well as insights regarding biomarkers and specific therapies.
