How Can Understanding Interleukins Improve Toxicological Interventions?
Understanding the roles of interleukins in toxicology can lead to improved therapeutic strategies. By targeting specific interleukins, it may be possible to modulate the immune response to toxins, reducing inflammation and tissue damage. For instance, blocking pro-inflammatory interleukins like IL-1 or IL-6 could be beneficial in conditions where excessive inflammation contributes to toxicity. Conversely, enhancing the activity of anti-inflammatory interleukins like IL-10 may help resolve inflammation and promote healing.
