Autoimmunity, characterized by autoreactive lymphocytes and
autoantibodies, is the consequence of a failure to discriminate
between self and non-self, and autoimmune diseases are an
increasing threat to people living in the industrialized countries.
Autoimmune disorders are treatable, but not curable, and patients
can face disability at later stages of the disease. Thus, there is
a medical and economic need for new concepts and treatments in
autoimmune disorders. New concepts and treatments can only be
achieved by an interdisciplinary approach bringing together
expertise, technologies, and clinical experience. The workshop
focused on multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and type I
diabetes, and discussed conventional drug therapies, gene therapy,
cell and tissue transplantation therapies, and first treatments
using blood stem cells for reprogramming the patients' immune
system.
