Glossary Immune Regulation

processes that control immune system activity and balance

Immune Regulation, also known as immune system regulation or regulation of immune response, refers to the complex processes that control the activity and balance of the immune system. This involves mechanisms that activate immune responses to fight infections and diseases, as well as those that suppress these responses to prevent overactivity that could lead to autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
