Essential Role of Zinc and Zinc Transporters in Myeloid Cell Function and Host Defense against Infection
Zinc is an essential micronutrient known to play a vital role in host defense against pathogens. Diets that are deficient in zinc lead to impaired immunity and delayed recovery from and worse outcomes following infection. Sustained insufficient zinc intake leads to dysregulation of the innate immune...
