A certain cytokine, or small protein that helps cells
communicate during immune responses, can control whether immune cells promote or suppress inflammatory bowel disease, a finding that could lead to new treatments, according to a study led by Georgia State University.
I am interested in applying fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) to study the metabolic
activity during immune response to pancreatic cancer in a zebrafish model.
Studies have shown that vitamin C levels within our immune cells significantly decline within 24 hours of the onset of a cold, suggesting an increased utilization of vitamin
C during an immune response but also implying a greater need for consistent replenishment of vitamin C during illness.
It measures the inflammatory response and subtle changes in our immune cells (lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, and eosinophils) as they release chemical mediators (a substance released from cells, e.g., cytokines, histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, etc.), that regulate or cause physiologic
consequences during an immune response to an antigen.
That basically means the compounds in Elder have the ability to raise and lower cytokine production in your body so that your cells are better able to
communicate during an immune response.
Post-translational modifications of proteins are important for activation of T cells
during an immune response.
