Our research focuses on the role of MiT/TFE family transcription factors in the regulation of response immunes and their contribution to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, especially multiple sclerosis (MS). Using the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model, we investigate how these transcription factors govern the delicate balance between protective immunity and pathological autoimmunity.
