Cell Dysregulation Predicts Immune Response to Infection

The immune system regulates disease response throughout our bodies. Interestingly, two separate responses act as barriers to prevent the spread of infections. When first introduced to a disease, the innate immune system quickly identifies infections as foreign. Many different innate immune cells circulate throughout the body surveying tissues for anything that they do not identify as ‘self’. This regulatory system reacts to disease more generally and…
