Discovery of food-derived leads for immune health interventions
other
A well-functioning immune system is critical for adequate responses to daily life health challenges such as infections. But at the same time, overshooting immune responses may lead to allergic and inflammatory diseases. Our immune balances are determined by a complex interplay between intrinsic properties such as our genome, and extrinsic factors such as our diet. To date, the food compounds and the mechanisms through with these impact immune balances are largely unknown. Identification and characterization of immunomodulatory food compounds will help to unravel their role in inflammation and opens new avenues for immune health interventions.
