The textbook "Cytokines and Autoimmune Diseases" offers a comprehensive analysis of the role of cytokines and chemokines in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Leading researchers have compiled scattered experimental data to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that govern the induction and regulation of cytokines. The various chapters include critical evaluations of the production of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, with a particular focus on pro-inflammatory cytokines, as they can trigger organ-specific autoimmune diseases. The book addresses the role of cytokines in a variety of autoimmune diseases, including uveitis, encephalomyelitis, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and myasthenia gravis. With an authoritative and modern approach, "Cytokines and Autoimmune Diseases" highlights the enormous therapeutic potential of cytokine modulation in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
