What are Some Pathological Conditions Associated with Dysregulated Chemotaxis?
Dysregulated chemotaxis can lead to various pathological conditions. For example, chronic inflammation can result from the persistent recruitment of immune cells due to overactive chemotactic signaling, contributing to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Conversely, impaired chemotaxis can lead to inadequate immune responses, increasing susceptibility to infections and poor wound healing.
