Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that deals with the immune system, its functions, disorders, and mechanisms. It covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms, including the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and disease. This field delves into the complex interactions between pathogens and the host’s defense mechanisms, exploring how the body recognizes and combats foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Immunology has profound applications in numerous medical fields, including allergy, autoimmunity, and immunotherapy, which involves harnessing or modifying the immune response to fight diseases such as cancer. Advances in immunology have led to significant medical breakthroughs, such as the development of vaccines, treatments for autoimmune diseases, and a deeper understanding of chronic diseases related to immune system dysfunction.
