What Role Does IL-10 Play in Pediatric Autoimmune Diseases?
Autoimmune diseases in children, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), involve inappropriate immune responses against the body's own tissues. IL-10 helps to mitigate these responses by downregulating the activity of autoreactive T cells and B cells. This cytokine is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications in these conditions.
