How Do Inhibitory Molecules Affect Disease Progression?
Inhibitory molecules can have both protective and detrimental effects on disease progression. For example, the overexpression of inhibitory cytokines like IL-10 can suppress immune responses and promote chronic infections or cancer. Conversely, insufficient inhibition can lead to uncontrolled inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Understanding the balance of inhibitory signals is crucial for developing targeted therapies for various diseases.
