What are the Mechanisms Behind Reduced Immune Response Due to Nanoparticles?
Several mechanisms can lead to a reduced immune response when interacting with nanoparticles:
Immune Evasion: Some nanoparticles are engineered to evade the immune system by camouflaging themselves with biocompatible materials or by being small enough to avoid detection. Immune Suppression: Certain nanoparticles can actively suppress the immune system by interfering with signaling pathways or by depleting immune cells. Immune Tolerance: Repeated exposure to certain nanoparticles may induce tolerance, where the immune system becomes less responsive over time.
