…nderstand the connection Dr. Purser explores IL-23 and Th17 signaling in fatty liver disease and inflammatory liver conditions. Older terms NAFLD and NASH appear alongside the newer terms MASLD and MASH. Follow the pathway This teaching fo…

…ss, and treatment research. Understand the connection IL-6 signaling intersects with metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammatory responses in the liver. Fatty liver disease can progress to inflammation and scarring in some people. Fo…

…al-thalamo-cortical circuits, dopamine, and inhibitory GABA signaling. He also explores behavioral therapy, medicines, and selected specialist interventions rather than reducing tics to one gene or nutrient. Bring these questions to your v…

… also called MIP-1 beta, is a chemical signal that attracts immune cells, particularly through CCR5. It is related to CCL3, but the two signals do not have identical roles. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects CCL4 with T-cell and macrop…

…nderstand the connection CCL5, also called RANTES, attracts immune cells through receptors including CCR1, CCR3, and CCR5. It participates in the normal response to infection and tissue injury. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses CCL5 …

…13, also called BCA-1, helps guide B cells toward organized immune structures. It works through the receptor CXCR5. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser explains how CXCL13 and CXCR5 help B cells and follicular helper T cells meet in lymph-node g…

…A1. Understand the connection A cytokine panel can include immune messengers, chemokines that guide cell movement, receptors that receive signals, and proteins with other roles. These categories answer different questions. Follow the path…

…rferon-gamma, or IFN-γ, is a type II interferon produced by immune cells including T cells and natural killer cells. It helps activate macrophages and organize defense against infection. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects the Th1 immun…

…rent meanings. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser follows IFN-γ signaling into T-cell and macrophage activity and the relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress. A genotype needs to be considered alongside measured findings and symp…

…regulation. Understand the connection IL-10 helps regulate immune responses and limit excessive inflammation. Its effects depend on which cells are involved and what is happening in the tissue. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses IL-1…

…plains why the shared p40 subunit connects the Th1 and Th17 immune pathways. This also helps explain the difference between treatments that target p40 and treatments that target only the IL-23 p19 subunit. Bring these questions to your vis…
