Congratulations to:
Dr. Alice Mui (General Surgery) who has received a CIHR grant to study: Negative Regulation of Immune Cell Function The anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 prevents over-enthusiastic immune cell activation that can lead to tissue injury and disease. In fact…. IL10 is released at the site of surgical incisions. The objective of this grant is to study the mechanism by which IL10 calms cells down, and to continue developing strategies to treat diseases such as colitis in which the normal response to IL10 has been lost.
