Examples

  • Treatment with other immunomodulatory or cytotoxic agents was prohibited during the study.

  • There's a very strong immunomodulatory effect of light on the skin.

  • MSCs are considered candidate therapeutic applications for immune diseases because of their immunomodulatory capacity.

    Academic text (2018)
  • However, treating many diseases precisely needs the immunomodulatory properties of MSCs, while the diseases also produce an inflammatory environment for the MSCs.

    Academic text (2018)
  • Thus, either for the regeneration of traumatized tissue or treatment of abnormal immune response diseases, the success of treatment depends heavily on the immunomodulatory property of stem cells used for the therapy.

    Academic text (2018)
  • The mechanisms of the immunomodulatory effects depend on the cytokines secreted by MSCs and the adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of MSCs.

    Academic text (2018)
  • WJMSCs have been presented as the best source of clinically usable MSCs because of a lack of ethical concerns, easy availability, non-invasive isolation with high yield, and greater differentiation and immunomodulatory potential.

    Academic text (2018)
  • Toussirot et al. reported that OM-89 has immunomodulatory properties by inducing changes in PBMC cytokine release, suggesting an induced Tr1 response to OM-89 153.

Morphology

immunomodulatory = modulatory (transparent) = immuno + modulate + ory

The combining form 'immuno-' (relating to the immune system) added to 'modulatory' yields the clear meaning 'affecting/modifying immune responses', a predictable medical formation.

Etymology

Immunomodulatory combines immuno- meaning 'immune' or the body's 'defence' and modulate meaning 'to change or adjust', like turning the volume on your phone. So an immunomodulatory treatment is one that changes or adjusts how the immune system works.
