    Glossary Immune-Mediated

    immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells

    Immune-mediated refers to conditions or diseases that are caused by abnormal activity of the immune system, where it mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues. This can lead to various health issues, such as inflammation, tissue damage, and organ dysfunction. Examples include autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia areata, where the immune system targets hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
