    malfunctioning immune system attacking body's own tissues

    Immune dysregulation refers to an imbalance or malfunction in the immune system, where it either overreacts, underreacts, or attacks the body's own tissues. This can lead to various health issues, including autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly targets hair follicles, causing hair loss.
