Summary:
- Researchers have discovered how the body can tolerate food without the immune system attacking it. This is an important process, as the immune system normally responds to foreign substances in the body.
- The study found that certain immune cells, called regulatory T cells, play a key role in this process. These cells help the body recognize food as something that should not be attacked.
- Understanding this mechanism could lead to new treatments for food allergies and other immune-related disorders, as it shows how the body naturally prevents an immune response to harmless substances like food.
