Immunobiology, also known as immunology, is the branch of biology that studies the immune system in all organisms. It covers the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease, as well as malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders like allergies, autoimmune diseases, and immunodeficiency. The immune system is complex and involves a variety of defense mechanisms, including innate components like the skin and mucous membranes, and adaptive responses such as antibodies and T cells, which target specific pathogens. Research in immunobiology has led to significant medical advancements, including the development of vaccines, treatments for allergic reactions, and therapeutic interventions for autoimmune diseases. This field continues to be at the forefront of biomedical research, especially in understanding how the immune system interacts with pathogens and tumors, paving the way for innovative treatments such as immunotherapy for cancer.
