The significance of immunology research to our daily life
Author(s): Soundrya Bhatt*
Immunology is the study of the immune system, our natural defense mechanism against different types of
harmful pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The field of immunology involves the study of the
cells, molecules, and mechanisms involved in detecting and eliminating these harmful pathogens. The immune
system is composed of several types of cells, including white blood cells, antibodies, and cytokines, which work
together to recognize and neutralize foreign substances. These cells are organized into a complex network that can
detect and respond to different types of pathogens. Immunology plays a crucial role in understanding diseases,
such as autoimmune disorders, where the immune system attacks its own healthy cells, and allergies, where the
immune system overreacts to allergens. Immunology research also contributes to the development of vaccines,
immunotherapies, a.. View More»
