Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a type of immune cell that suppress the immune response to prevent overactivity. They play a crucial role in maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmunity by controlling and regulating the activity of other immune cells.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subset of T cells that suppress the activity of other T cells, helping to maintain immune system balance and prevent overactive immune responses.
Rejection of transplanted organs occurs in the type of immune response called "graft rejection". This occurs when the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and attacks it, leading to potential organ failure. Medications are often used to suppress this immune response and prevent rejection.

Corticosteroids are indicated for a wide range of conditions, including inflammatory disorders such as arthritis, asthma, and dermatitis. They are also used in autoimmune diseases, certain types of cancer, and to suppress the immune system after organ transplants. Corticosteroids help to reduce inflammation, suppress the immune response, and alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions.
Proteins are involved in cell signaling by transmitting signals within cells, participating in the immune response by recognizing and neutralizing pathogens, and facilitating enzyme activity by catalyzing chemical reactions. Overall, proteins play critical roles in the functioning of living organisms.
