TR1 cells, or Type-1 Regulatory T-cells, have been found to play a crucial role in regulating the immune system, particularly in the context of malaria. These cells help control and balance immune responses, reducing inflammation and preventing excessive immune reactions. In malaria, TR1 cells promote immune tolerance, allowing coexistence with the parasite and developing clinical immunity that prevents severe illness. This discovery can help make better malaria vaccines and boost long-term protection. TR1 cells act as peacekeepers, moderating the immune response to protect the body.
