Tanay S Mandowara
@tanay_mandowara (Twitter)zinc can be considered as a gatekeeper of the immune system, as the proper functioning of virtually all immune cells is highly zinc-dependent. So, it should not be in excess or in deficiency. Having it in balance is much needed. https://t.co/l0mnxzhLHb https://t.co/2Q7JphtDyD

Abstract Synopsis
- Zinc is crucial for immune system function, regulating signaling pathways in both innate and adaptive immune cells, with its homeostasis controlled by zinc importers, exporters, and binding proteins.
- Zinc deficiency can lead to a proinflammatory phenotype and is linked to disease development, highlighting the importance of zinc supplementation for immune health.
- The article discusses how changes in zinc levels influence cellular signaling, epigenetic modifications, and immune responses, emphasizing zinc's role as a gatekeeper of immune function through fast zinc flux, intermediate zinc waves, and late zinc signals.]
