What is the significance of immune cell infiltration in disease?
Immune cell infiltration is a hallmark of many diseases, including autoimmune disorders, infections, and cancers. In autoimmune diseases, immune cells mistakenly attack healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and tissue damage. In infections, immune cell infiltration is essential for clearing pathogens. In cancer, the presence of immune cells within tumors can either promote or inhibit tumor growth depending on the types of cells and the context.
