Beyond cytokines: Influences of the endocrine system on human immune homeostasis

The immune system must be tightly controlled to prevent potentially damaging over-response to pathogens and must also be actively maintained in a responsive state when no immediate threat is present. These processes of control and maintenance are important for sustaining a state of immune homeostasis and are controlled by a network of cellular and molecular interactions. Here, we highlight a recent publication in Immunology (2021) where the...
