- Strengthening the Immune System and Reducing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress through Diet and Nutrition: Considerations during the COVID-19 Crisis (2020, background): “Zinc is essential for cellular growth and differentiation of immune cells, having a fast differentiation and turnover rate, and helps to modulate cytokine release and trigger CD8+ T-cell proliferation [298].”
- A Review of Micronutrients and the Immune System–Working in Harmony to Reduce the Risk of Infection (2020, background): “Zinc Induces proliferation of cytotoxic T cells [67]; involved in Th1 cytokine production and thus supports Th1 response [3]; essential for intracellular binding of tyrosine kinase to T cell receptors, required for T cell development, differentiation, and activation [49]; induces development of Treg”
