Report
The human immune system is responsible for defending against bacterial, viral, and other pathogenic threats. It is multifaceted and complex, which makes it especially difficult to understand and target clinically.
Immune dysfunction can impact the body’s ability to fight disease by either becoming under-responsive or going into overdrive, causing the body harm. Once the immune system becomes ‘dysregulated’ the body can develop diseases like type 1 diabetes or sarcoidosis.
