Exploring the Complex Interactions between the Immune System and Disease

Abstract

Lee Pabla

The immune system is a sophisticated network of cells, tissues and organs that protects the body against pathogens and maintains tissue homeostasis. However, this defense mechanism is not always foolproof and diseases can arise when the immune system malfunctions or is dysregulated. This article delves into the intricate relationship between the immune system and various diseases, highlighting how dysregulation of immune responses can lead to both inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Additionally, it examines how pathogens evade immune detection and exploit host defenses, contributing to the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Understanding these complex interactions is crucial for the development of effective therapeutic strategies to combat a wide range of illnesses.
