    Glossary Autoimmune Mechanisms

    body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues

    Autoimmune mechanisms refer to the processes by which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, thinking they are foreign invaders. This can lead to various autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata, where the immune system targets hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing treatments that can modulate the immune response and prevent tissue damage.
