    Glossary Autoimmune Diseases

    immune system attacks the body's own tissues

    Autoimmune diseases are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, thinking they are foreign invaders. This can lead to a variety of health issues, depending on which part of the body is targeted. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, where joints are affected, and alopecia areata, where hair follicles are attacked, leading to hair loss.
