Abstract
Several studies have provided evidence that the ployphenol curcumin can influence immune responses significantly. Here we overview the effects of curcumin in physiological and in pathological immune responses, including the recent findings from the use of curcumin to modulate immune-mediated diseases.
Keywords: Curcumin, immune responses, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, tumors, infection, allergy, biosynthesis, autoimmunity.
