- Th17 cells normally maintain intestinal barrier integrity, keeping microbes from entering the body's interior. — What Causes Autoimmune Conditions
- Th17 cells support central tolerance, helping the immune system distinguish self from non-self. — What Causes Autoimmune Conditions
- When Th17 cells malfunction, bacteria cross the intestinal barrier into the body, causing chronic infection and widespread inflammation. — What Causes Autoimmune Conditions
- The exact mechanism by which Th17 cells become overactivated is not fully understood. — What Causes Autoimmune Conditions
- TH17 cells can either protect against or drive autoimmune disease depending entirely on the cellular environment. — How to Put Your Autoimmune Disease In Remission
- T helper cell 17 is always implicated in autoimmune conditions and sits at the center of all autoimmune diseases. — How to Put Your Autoimmune Disease In Remission
- The cellular environment that determines TH17 behavior is shaped by epigenetics, including nutrition, stress hormones, gut health, and viral signals. — How to Put Your Autoimmune Disease In Remission
- Two people can carry EBV and have identical genes yet one develops autoimmune disease and the other does not, because the difference lies in the environment that determines how TH17 cells behave. — How to Put Your Autoimmune Disease In Remission
