It can change how immune cells mature and signal. Cell and animal studies suggest effects on T cells, natural killer cells and inflammation. These findings do not show that it rebuilds a human thymus.

  • T-cell development and signaling: Proposed changes in immune-cell maturation and activity; a single validated human receptor is not established.
  • Natural killer cells and perforin: Required for antitumor effects in mouse experiments; human cancer trials were negative.
  • Inflammatory cell signals: Cultured-cell studies show changes in TNF and IL-6 responses.

Half-life: No reliable human elimination half-life verified.
