Chronic inflammation is a core pathological feature of autoimmune diseases, as these conditions keep the immune system in a persistent state of attack [1], [2]. This relationship is further evidenced by the frequent clinical association between the two, where chronic inflammation is both a marker and a consequence of various autoimmune disorders [3], [4], [5].
