Abstract

Digestive autoimmune conditions are a growing challenge to global health. Risk factors associated with autoimmune digestive diseases are complex, including genetic variation, immunological dysfunction, and various environmental factors. To improve our understanding of the mechanisms behind digestive autoimmune conditions, including factors causing gastrointestinal manifestations and pathogenesis, BMC Immunology has launched a new Collection “The digestive system and autoimmunity”.
