Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases present a modern epidemic or pandemic, with their prevalence and incidence increasing all over the world. Although intense research has focused on the etiology and pathophysiology of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, etiology still eludes and remains largely unknown. However, various projects have shone light on the infectious etiology of autoimmunity. These findings show that autoimmunity may be an aberrant response to an infection. Despite the fact that the exact etiology of autoimmunity still remains unknown, research has shown that anti-inflammatory and antioxidant factors may play a beneficial role in the prevention and management of autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. Dietary factors have emerged as important in the prevention and management of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. Moreover, it has been shown that dietary factors with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may prevent flares in long-standing autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders.
This Special Issue focuses on the prevention and treatment of autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory dietary factors. All manuscripts focusing on dietary factors or patterns with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may play a role in the prevention and management of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases are welcome.
