How Can Research on Co-Stimulatory Molecules Inform Risk Assessment?
Research on co-stimulatory molecules can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying immune dysregulation caused by chemical exposures. By elucidating how specific toxins affect co-stimulatory signaling, toxicologists can better predict the potential risks associated with exposure to these chemicals. This knowledge can inform the development of biomarkers for early detection of immune dysfunction and guide regulatory decisions aimed at protecting public health.
