Dissecting the Immune System  through Gene Regulation

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2024;1444:219-235. doi: 10.1007/978-981-99-9781-7_15.ABSTRACTThe immune system plays a dual role in human health, functioning both as a protector against pathogens and, at times, as a contributor to disease. This feature emphasizes the importance to uncover the underlying causes of its malfunctions, necessitating an in-depth analysis in both pathological and physiological conditions to better understand the immune system and immune disorders. Recent advances in scientific technology have enabled extensive investigations into gene regulation, a crucial mechanism governing cellular functionality. Studying gene regulatory mechanisms within the immune system is a promising avenue for enhancing our understanding of immune cells and the immune system as a whole. The gene regulatory mechanisms, revealed through various methodologies, and their implications in the field of immunology are discussed in this chapter.PMID:38467983 | DOI:10.1007/978-981-99-9781-7_15
