    Glossary Autoimmune Processes

    body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells

    Autoimmune processes occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells and tissues, thinking they are foreign invaders. This can lead to various diseases, such as alopecia areata, where the immune system targets hair follicles, causing hair loss.
