Research Abstract |
One might expect that effector cells(and/ or effector molecules) encounter firstly micro-environmental component(niche) before the destruction of target-cells in autoimmune diseases. However, there is a little attention of destruction of niche morphologically and functionally in the pathogenesis in immune diseases. During the analysis of autoimmune diseases the importance of niche concept in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases was clarified.
