Open AccessEpigenetic mechanisms shape the underlining expression regulatory mechanisms of the STAT3 in multiple sclerosis disease
Immunological tolerance is mediated by CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells. Studies have shown that thymic and peripheral generations of Treg cells depend on the CD28 signaling pathway. T helper 17 (Th17) cells a...
