ImmuneModulation

Meaning

The therapeutic or physiological adjustment of the immune system’s activity to a desired level, which can involve either suppressing an overactive response, as seen in autoimmune conditions, or stimulating a hypoactive response, such as enhancing cancer surveillance. In the context of longevity, it focuses on maintaining immune homeostasis and reducing chronic low-grade inflammation, often influenced by the balance of sex steroids and glucocorticoids.
