Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the immune system
mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation
and tissue damage. Diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and psoriasis are
examples of autoimmune conditions that significantly impair patients' quality
of life. Traditionally, the management of autoimmune diseases has focused
on non-specific immunosuppressive therapies, such as corticosteroids and
methotrexate, aimed at dampening the overactive immune response. However,
these treatments often come with substantial side effects and do not address
the underlying pathogenic mechanisms in a targeted manner.
