Our current understanding of the mechanisms involved in the generation and perpetuation of autoimmunity provide conceptual as well as realistic targets for interventions to prevent and treat autoimmune diseases [1]. Clearly, genetic and epigenetic SNPs and environmental exposures cannot be eliminated as risk factors. However, it may become possible to identify children at risk of autoimmunity and develop strategies to reduce their risk of autoimmune diseases. The development of new immunosuppressive medications, inhibition of cytokine production and function, and epigenetic inhibitors increase the probability of controlling a variety of autoimmune diseases in the near future.
