Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues, resulting in a wide range of symptoms and complications. The human immune system is a remarkable network of cells and molecules that work tirelessly to defend our bodies against harmful invaders. However, in some cases, this complex defense mechanism can malfunction, leading to autoimmune diseases.
Diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, diabetes, MS, and RA can have a profound impact on the quality of life of those affected. However, advancements in medical research, including the exploration of stem cell therapy, provide hope for improved treatment strategies and better disease management.
