Find out what kind of cells help prevent inflammation

According to the Xinhua News Agency, a group of scientists from the Helmholtz Munich Center (Germany) and colleagues in England and Italy have recently discovered a new Th22 immune cell.

Research has shown that Th22 immune cells are currently in a state of "uncontrolled", which could increase the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases related to the skin, metabolism and respiratory system.

Th22 immune cells have a special effect in controlling and regulating the process that leads to inflammation.

However, in the current state of losing control, Th22 immune cells seem to have lost their immune function, so there is a risk of making infectious diseases such as psoriasis, allergies, eczema more and more. should be more serious.

Scientists have discovered that in this cell there is a signaling molecule called IL-22. This signal molecule may remind the body's parts of an imminent infection or infection.

So make the body's parts prepare, recognize and attack invading viruses and pathogens or do a good job of protecting against the reaction of inflammation.

However, this effect is always a double-edged sword, because IL-22 often 'overstates the need', which leads to overreaction of parts of the body.

Researchers hope to soon study a drug capable of 'controlling' Th22 immune cells, thereby effectively treating chronic inflammatory conditions.

The new discovery of Th22 cells can be considered a milestone in immunological research, which could provide new thinking in the treatment of chronic dermatitis and chronic respiratory system inflammation. /.
