Challenges, Progress, and Prospects of Developing Therapies to Treat Autoimmune Diseases.

Autoimmune diseases are a result of the immune system being misdirected toward its host and have major and increasing unmet clinical needs. In general, present therapies are broadly acting and non-disease specific; consequently, they are associated with numerous side effects. Precise and early intervention strategies are urgently needed. We highlight the challenges, progress, and prospects in achieving these goals.
