Medicine’s Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize was announced on Monday. Three physicians in the medicine field have jointly received this honor. The awards have been given to Mary E Brucko of America, Fred Ramsdale of San Francisco and Shimon Sakaguchi of Japan. All three did research on Peripheral Immune Tolerance. This research will help in better in the immune system diseases and their identity and treatment.
Meanwhile, it is also important to know what is Peripheral Immune Tolerance on which the Nobel Prize has been given. For this, we have talked to experts.
What is peripheral immune tolerance
Dr. Subhash Giri, Direct Professor in Medicine Department at RML Hospital, Delhi It is said that the immune system is a soldier of the body that protects it from diseases and infections. The better the immune system, the less the possibility of diseases will be less, but in some cases the body accidentally attacks its own cells. Many types of diseases are caused by this, they are called low auto immune disease. Such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus disease.
According to Dr. Subhash, research on Peripheral Immune Tolerance will reveal how auto immune beams can be treated and why the body starts attacking its own cells. Since there is no cure for auto immune diseases, this research can be very beneficial. This can help in treating autoimmune diseases permanently in future. Based on the research of these scientists, many auto immune disease are also being discovered.
How Peripheral Immune Tolerance works
Dr. Ajit Kumar in Medicine Department at GTB Hospital It is said that Kipariferral immune tolerance is a safety system of our body that prevents immunity from attacking our own cells, but in some cases it does not work properly and immunity starts attacking itself.
Dr. Kumar says that peripheral tolerance works in three ways. It works for energy, sobsation and apoptosis. If a T-Cell recognizes the body’s own cells but does not get a signal, then it becomes inactive. If peripheral tolerance does not work properly, the body considers its own tissue as an external enemy and it causes diseases, such as the immune system of diabetes, if the immune system destroys the cells and it is diseases. In arthritis, the body attacks its own joints.
