欧洲生物信息学协会(EMBL-EBI)及韦尔科姆基金会桑格学院研究所(Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute)的研究人员发现一些免疫细胞会通过产生类固醇关闭自身的功能。该研究结果给癌症、自身免疫疾病及寄生虫疾病研究带来了新的启示。研究的相关结果发表在2104年5月的《Cell Reports》上。在使用类固醇药物时,如用可的松乳膏治疗湿疹,可以直接看到类固醇如何有效地抑制免疫反应。当机体感 Researchers at the European Bioinformatics Association (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have found that some immune cells shut down their own functions by producing steroids. The findings provide new insights into cancer, autoimmune and parasitic disease research. Relevant results of the study published in May 2104 “Cell Reports”. In the use of steroid drugs, such as the treatment of eczema with cortisone cream, you can directly see how steroids can effectively suppress the immune response. When the body feeling
