Toward a Unified Conceptual Framework for Flare–Remission Dynamics in Autoimmune Diseases: A Treg–Tpex Oscillation and Dual-Threshold Model
2026-06-11
Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune diseases (AIDs) are characterized by recurrent flare–remission cycles, yet a unifying explanation for these dynamics remains lacking. Here, we propose a conceptual framework in which peripheral tolerance is maintained through dynamic interactions between regulatory T cells (Treg) and stem‑like autoreactive T cells (here termed Tpex‑like cells). In this model, clinical flares arise as dual‑threshold phas...
