Research on peripheral immune tolerance underpins therapeutic strategies for modulating immune responses in disease and transplantation.
Autoimmune diseases are conditions in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, and current standard treatments generally suppress immune activity rather than permanently correcting the underlying immune dysfunction, often requiring long-term medications that can have serious side effects.
