    Glossary Immune Evasion

    strategies pathogens use to avoid immune system detection

    Immune evasion refers to the strategies used by pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, or even cancer cells, to avoid detection and destruction by the body's immune system. This can involve altering their surface proteins, secreting substances that inhibit immune responses, or hiding within host cells. Understanding immune evasion is crucial for developing treatments for infections and diseases like cancer.

      community Telogen Effluvium/Chronic TE and immune-related hair loss advice

       5 upvotes 8 years ago
      Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.
