“…The initial triggers for autoantibody production and immune activation are still unknown, and the precise interactions between immune cells and autoantibodies in the thyroid gland require further investigation [ 12 , 16 ]. However, recent advances in computational tools, such as the immunogenicity-potential scoring (IPS) [ 17 , 18 ], microenvironment cell populations-counter (MCP) [ [19] , [20] , [21] ], X-cells algorithms [ 22 , 23 ], and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) [ 24 , 25 ], have enabled researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying autoantibody production and the complex interactions between stromal and immune cells in the thyroid gland [ 26 , 27 ]. These cutting-edge tools allow for large-scale gene expression analysis to identify key biological pathways and processes involved in the path immunology of autoimmune disorders, providing valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of these diseases [ 28 ].…”
