Immunomodulatory Drugs Fine-tune the Immune Response

Abstract

Kristian Lyssiotis

Immunomodulatory Drugs (IMDs) have emerged as powerful tools in the management of various autoimmune diseases, cancer and inflammatory conditions. These drugs exert their effects by finely tuning the immune response, either by enhancing or suppressing specific components of the immune system. This article provides an overview of the mechanisms of action of immunomodulatory drugs and their therapeutic applications. By modulating immune function, IMDs offer promising avenues for treating a wide range of diseases while minimizing adverse effects. Understanding the mechanisms underlying immunomodulation is crucial for developing more effective and targeted therapeutic interventions.
