We think of our immune system as protecting our bodies from disease, but what about when our body is under attack from the immune system itself?
For a primer on immunology and an overview of how the immune system overreacts in a disease such as arthritis, please join us for an educational seminar by PhD researchers from the Department of Immunology at the University of Toronto at North York Central Library on Tuesday February 24, 2015, 7-8 p.m.
