Abstract
Understanding the pathogenesis of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) has proved to be challenging. Both immune-mediated and non-immune-mediated mechanisms have been implicated, which adds to the complexity of the problem. However, recent developments in science and technology have given researchers new opportunities for exploring this fascinating disease. In this chapter we provide a synopsis of the progress in our understanding of the role of the autonomic nervous system in SS pathogenesis, the role of microRNAs as novel tools in advancing research in this field, and gene therapy as potential therapeutic avenue.
