Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autoimmune diseases and multisystem inflammation are complex conditions driven by immune dysregulation, leading to chronic tissue damage and significant morbidity. Despite advancements in understanding their pathophysiology, key challenges remain, including identifying precise disease mechanisms, discovering reliable biomarkers, and developing targeted, long-term therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue, “Autoimmune Diseases and Multisystem Inflammation: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Strategies”, aims to consolidate cutting-edge research to address these challenges. The issue will cover a wide range of topics, including clinical: immune-mediated inflammatory pathways, genetic and environmental factors, disease-specific and systemic biomarkers, and innovative treatment modalities such as biologics, immunomodulators, and precision medicine approaches.
By bringing together experts from immunology, rheumatology, and related disciplines, this Special Issue seeks to advance current knowledge, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and accelerate the development of effective, patient-centered therapies. We encourage researchers and clinicians to contribute original research, reviews, and clinical perspectives to drive innovation and improve outcomes for patients affected by these debilitating conditions.
