Immuno-Endocrine Crosstalk

Meaning

Immuno-endocrine crosstalk describes the intricate, bidirectional communication network between the immune system and the endocrine system, demonstrating their functional interdependence in maintaining homeostasis. This signaling involves the mutual exchange of chemical messengers, including hormones, cytokines, and neurotransmitters, which profoundly influence the activity of both systems. This sophisticated dialogue is critical for the body’s integrated response to stress, infection, and chronic disease.
