    Glossary Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor

    protein that regulates immune responses and inflammation

    Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system by regulating inflammation and immune responses. It inhibits the movement of macrophages, which are cells that engulf and digest pathogens and cellular debris, thereby helping to control the body's inflammatory response. MIF is also involved in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders and cancer, making it a significant target for medical research.
