    Glossary Immune Balance

    state where immune system functions optimally without overreacting or underreacting

    Immune balance refers to the state in which the immune system is functioning optimally, neither overreacting (which can lead to autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata) nor underreacting (which can result in increased susceptibility to infections). It involves a complex interplay of various immune cells and signaling molecules to maintain this equilibrium, ensuring the body can effectively defend against pathogens while avoiding damage to its own tissues.
