Regulatory t Cells
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a type of immune cell found in the body that are crucial for maintaining immunological tolerance and homeostasis. They play an important role in suppressing autoimmune and inflammatory responses, preventing the body from attacking its own tissues. Tregs also aid in recognizing and responding to foreign antigens and help to balance the activity of other immune cells, such as T helper cells and B cells. By ensuring that the immune system can effectively distinguish between self and non-self, Tregs play a key role in maintaining overall health. They have applications in the development of novel therapies for autoimmune and allergic diseases, in restoring proper immune responses in cancer patients, and in organ transplantation.
