Article Synopsis
- T regulatory (Treg) cells play a key role in maintaining immune tolerance by preventing harmful inflammation through various immunosuppressive mechanisms, both contact-dependent and independent.
- Recent studies highlight that Treg cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a novel way to modulate immune responses without direct cell contact, which may be influential in various diseases.
- The EVs facilitate intercellular communication by transmitting proteins, lipids, and genetic material, and they can create a tolerogenic environment, suggesting Treg cells have a potential role in managing immune responses during inflammation and possibly in regulating CD4 T cell differentiation.
