Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly targets the body’s own tissues, leading to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. This book explores the mechanisms underlying autoimmunity, including genetic predisposition, molecular mimicry, and immune dysregulation. It discusses diagnostic markers and treatments, such as immunosuppressants and biologics, providing a comprehensive resource for understanding and managing autoimmune disorders.
Connor Barnes is a researcher specializing in autoimmunity and its role in disease development. His work explores how the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Connor has contributed to numerous studies on the mechanisms that trigger autoimmune responses and their clinical implications. His research helps identify new treatment strategies for autoimmune diseases. Connor’s work continues to shape the future of immunology and autoimmune disease management.
