…lso called sCD25. Its level can reflect T-cell activation. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses sIL2R in sarcoidosis, granuloma formation, and other settings of immune activation. A high level is not specific to sarcoidosis; infection, …

…fated form, DHEAS, are related but different measurements. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser discusses rs2910397 and rs2637125 in this pathway, alongside liver processing, hormone balance, and oxidative stress. Common variants are different fr…

…1 helps regulate immune activity and tissue repair. It can support wound healing while also contributing to fibrosis when repair responses persist. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects TGF-β1 signaling with fibroblasts, collagen depositi…

…obes and damaged tissue. It often works with TLR1 or TLR6. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser follows TLR2 signaling through MyD88 and NF-κB into cytokine production. This connects the initial recognition of a trigger with inflammation, blood-v…

…e programmed cell death, a normal quality-control process. Follow the pathway Dr. Purser connects DR4 signaling with damaged-cell removal, caspase activation, and the way cellular stress can affect the response. This is different from TNF-…
