What is the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in children's health?
Regulatory T cells (Tregs), which express FOXP3, play a vital role in maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. In children, Tregs are essential for the normal development of the immune system. They help to regulate the activity of other immune cells and prevent inappropriate immune responses that could lead to autoimmune diseases. A well-functioning population of Tregs is critical for a child's overall immune health.
