immunoregulatory
Immunoregulatory refers to the processes, cells, and molecules that control the immune response to maintain balance between defending against pathogens and tolerating self and harmless antigens. It encompasses mechanisms that suppress excessive inflammation and prevent autoimmunity while still allowing protective immunity to function.
Key players in immunoregulation include regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory B cells, tolerogenic dendritic cells, and
Cytokines such as IL-10, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and IL-35 create anti-inflammatory environments that dampen effector
Physiological role and clinical relevance: Immunoregulation is essential for preventing autoimmunity and limiting tissue damage during
