What are the Implications of Immune Synapse Dysregulation?
Dysregulation of immune synapse formation and function can lead to various immune disorders. For example, impaired immune synapse formation can result in immunodeficiency, where the immune system fails to mount an effective response against pathogens. Conversely, hyperactive immune synapses can contribute to autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks self-tissues. Understanding the mechanisms underlying immune synapse dysregulation is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
