...Diana Cardoso; Esperanza Perucha The immune system protects the body against harm by inducing inflammation. During the immune response, cells of the immune system get activated, divided and differentiated in order to eliminate the danger signal. This process relies on the metabolic reprogramming...

... consolidated for a long time, most of the molecular mechanisms of actions of these hormones have been defined only recently. In this review, we present the anti-inflammatory effects mediated by GCs in the cells of the immune system. Virtually all the cellular effects induced by the physiologic...

... and adaptive arms of the immune system are involved, with a dominant role for T-cells. Sensitized CD8 + T-cells are targeted to melanocyte differentiation antigens and destroy melanocytes either as the primary event in vitiligo or as a secondary promotive consequence. There is speculation on the interplay...
