Autoimmunity happens when the immune system fails to recognize the body’s own cells and attacks them as foreign. Diseases can be organ specific
(like Addison’s disease or myasthenia gravis) or systemic (like lupus). Causes include hidden antigens, molecular changes, or molecular mimicry between
pathogens and body tissues.
