Gusperimus is an immunosuppressive drug with a unique mode of action. We review its effects on different arms of the immune system and the current evidence for clinical applications, particularly in the treatment of transplant rejection and ANCA-associated vasculitis.

The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
