Autoimmune diseases are a significant challenge for medical science. Due to the fact that these diseases cause premature disability and an unfavourable life prognosis for patients (economic losses are comparable to those incurred when fighting cancer), they carry great social significance. In last decade, there has been a tendency towards an increase in the frequency of autoimmune pathologies, at a time when existing methods for treating such diseases are not able to deal with the root causes of autoimmune destruction, and are instead only focused on eliminating the consequences. Recently, Russian scientists staged a coup in the study and treatment of autoimmune diseases – the development in Russia of a unique, fundamentally new approach in pharmacotherapy of autoimmune pathologies that can become a platform for future treatments of a wide range of diseases from this group, in particular type I diabetes, which mainly manifests in children. How are innovative discoveries in autoimmunology changing the face of today’s medicine and how far has medical science advanced in the study of autoimmune diseases? Are there prerequisites for individualizing the treatment of AIDs as part of the concept of personalized medicine? What are the prospects for the further integration of innovative solutions in treating autoimmune diseases and in hands-on healthcare?
