Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) remains unclear, with numerous studies pointing to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. A critical stage in SLE disease development is cell necrosis, in which undegraded chromatin and nucleoproteins are released into the blood, resulting in circulating cell-free DNA and serum nucleoproteins that trigger anti-dsDNA autoantibody production.
