Fluid normally exchanges freely between the plasma and interstitial space and is returned primarily via the lymphatic system. This balance can be disturbed by diseases and medications. In inflammatory disease states, such as sepsis, the return flow of fl
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), a monomeric heme-containing enzyme, catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism, which plays an important role in immunity and neuronal function. Its implication in d
The physiological role of immune checkpoints is to prevent harmful immune attack on self-antigens during an immune response. Each checkpoint pathway decreases immune activation through intracellular signaling mechanisms and thus negatively regulates the effector immune cells by inducing T cell regression an...
It is a vital part of the circulatory and immune systems in the human body. The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, lymphoid organs, and lymphatic tissue. All these components work together to perform several essential functions. This system is integral to the overall ...
