Translational Autoimmunity: Challenges for Autoimmune Diseases, Fifth Edition

By Nima Rezaei, this book addresses diagnostic approaches, therapeutic opportunities, and prognostic markers of different autoimmune diseases. The updated volume discusses autotoxicity, systems immunology, the prognostic significance of disease-specific autoantibodies, along with translational research to novel therapeutic policy in autoimmune diseases.

Introduction to Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the immune system makes an inflammatory response against a harmless antigen in the body. This can lead to a variety of diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and multiple sclerosis. The book provides insights on the challenges researchers and clinicians are facing in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of these diseases.

Challenges in Diagnosis and Management

Diagnosing autoimmune diseases can be challenging due to the lack of specific diagnostic tests and the overlap of symptoms with other conditions. The book highlights major difficulties in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases, reflecting important remediable deficiencies in current management.

Therapeutic Opportunities and Prognostic Markers

The book discusses therapeutic opportunities and prognostic markers of different autoimmune diseases. It covers new targets of treatments and the role of autoantibodies in diagnosis and evolution, providing insights on many challenges researchers and clinicians are facing.

Systems Immunology of Infectious and Autoimmune Diseases

The book also covers the systems immunology of infectious and autoimmune diseases, providing insights on the complex interactions between the immune system and various diseases. This information is crucial for basic scientists, clinicians, and translational scientists and industry partners.

Translational Research to Novel Therapeutic Policy

Translational research is a key aspect of the book, focusing on the development of novel therapeutic policies in autoimmune diseases. This involves the translation of basic research findings into practical applications for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Role of Autoantibodies in Diagnosis and Evolution

Autoantibodies play a crucial role in the diagnosis and evolution of autoimmune diseases. The book discusses the prognostic significance of disease-specific autoantibodies, highlighting their importance in understanding the progression and management of these diseases.

Autotoxicity and Its Implications

Autotoxicity refers to the toxic effects of a substance on the cells or tissues of the organism that produced it. The book discusses autotoxicity in the context of autoimmune diseases, providing insights on its implications for disease pathogenesis and treatment strategies.
