Dysregulation refers to the inability of a system or process to maintain its normal or homeostatic functioning. In the context of research, dysregulation often refers to the disruption of normal physiological processes, such as immune system function, hormonal regulation, or neurotransmitter signaling. Dysregulation can be caused by various factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental stressors, or underlying health conditions. Research in this area often focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying dysregulation and developing interventions to restore proper functioning. Dysregulation is commonly associated with various mental health disorders, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders.
