University of Florida Health Researchers Find New Details of Immune System’s Molecular “Switch”

A group led by a University of Florida Health researcher has found out how one molecular “switch” influences the immune system — a finding they say has major implications for future treatments for immune system diseases and cancer.

“Knowing how the Treg cells function is essential to long-term therapies that could be developed for autoimmune diseases”, said Dorina Avram, Ph.D., the study’s lead author, a professor in the UF College of Medicine’s department of anatomy and cell biology and a member of the UF Health Cancer Center.
