Disorders involving amoeboid cells can significantly impact health. For example:
1. Chronic Inflammation: Overactive amoeboid cells can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. 2. Immunodeficiency: Defects in amoeboid cell functions can result in immunodeficiencies, making individuals more susceptible to infections. 3. Cancer: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) can facilitate cancer progression by promoting angiogenesis and suppressing anti-tumor immune responses.
