Our Delicate Immune Balance

Description

The human immune system is a complex network of cells and molecules that work together to defend the body against pathogens and maintain overall health. At the heart of this intricate system lies a delicate balance between two key players: regulatory immune cells and effector immune cells.

Regulatory immune cells, often referred to as the “peacekeepers” of the immune system, play a vital role in suppressing excessive immune responses and maintaining self-tolerance. Effector immune cells act as the soldiers,”
actively combating pathogens and producing inflammatory responses.
The interplay between these two cell types is carefully orchestrated to
ensure that the immune system responds appropriately to threats, avoiding harmful overreactions or autoimmune responses.
