Immunological Modulation

Meaning

Immunological modulation is the deliberate or physiological adjustment of the immune system’s activity to a desired level, either enhancing an insufficient response or suppressing an excessive one. This complex process involves altering the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, modifying the activity of immune cells, and influencing antibody production. In hormonal health, hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone act as potent modulators, linking the endocrine and immune systems. Effective modulation is key to managing autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, and overall resilience.
