What Are the Implications of Co-Stimulatory Molecule Modulation by Toxins?
The modulation of co-stimulatory pathways by toxins has significant implications for human health. For instance, certain immunotoxicants may alter the expression of co-stimulatory molecules, leading to either enhanced susceptibility to infections or the development of autoimmune diseases. Understanding these effects is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies and regulatory policies aimed at minimizing the adverse health effects associated with exposure to toxic substances.
