T-Regulatory Cells in Health and Disease
Different mechanisms of the immune system are pivotal to discriminate self-antigens from non-self antigens in order to maintain tolerance and induce protective immunity against foreign antigens. T regulatory cells (Tregs) are essential for peripheral tolerance but they contribute to the immunopathogenesis of different diseases including autoimmunity, allergy, inflammation, graft rejection, and cancer.
We are pleased to introduce this special issue, bringing 11 contributions from different research groups. These articles advance our understanding on the role and function of Tregs in different pathological conditions.
