    Glossary Autoimmune Factors

    immune system mistakenly attacks body's own tissues

    Autoimmune factors refer to elements within the body that mistakenly target and attack its own tissues, thinking they are foreign invaders. This can lead to various autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.
