Recent advances in basic research and clinical trials have indicated novel therapeutic approaches for autoimmune diseases. Breakthroughs in cytokine-targeting antibodies, small-molecule inhibitors, and cellular therapies are revolutionizing the management of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). The landmark success of mRNA vaccine technology further underscores the transformative potential of nucleic acid therapeutics (7,8). This therapeutic evolution marks a paradigm shift from broad immunosuppression to precision strategies that restore immune homeostasis, potentially enabling sustained disease remission or even cure (9). This second volume of Frontiers in Immunology's special issue presents nine papers that dissect molecular pathways, identify diagnostic biomarkers, and explore therapeutic strategies for autoimmune diseases. These works collectively advance our understanding of inflammation's multifaceted roles and highlight translational opportunities for precision medicine.
