Sentences with phrase «secreted signaling molecules»

Further expanding the array of functions attributed to Tregs, Rudensky found that when faced with tissue damage and inflammation, they secrete a signaling molecule called amphiregulin, which mediates tissue repair and maintenance; the discovery established a central role for Tregs in inflammation and allergies.
