Autoantibodies have become a popular research topic with a constantly growing number of research reports. The increasing interest from the scientific community is also reflected by the high number of articles within this Research Topic, which are illustrated by an interaction map that has been drawn by using the keywords of all articles from this collection (Figure 1). These articles, selected from the theme of this topic, cluster around “Autoantibodies” and “Autoimmunity.” Clustering was also observed for specific diseases, namely, pemphigus and pemphigoid, lupus, arthritis, and neuroimmunology. Cytokines, B cells, cell signaling, and the complement cascade are the focus of many manuscripts within this Research Topic. This clustering was the basis for the selection of the manuscripts discussed in this editorial.
