    Glossary Autoimmune Response

    immune system mistakenly attacks body's own cells and tissues

    An autoimmune response occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells and 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.
