Under normal conditions, cytokines aid in pathogen recognition and elimination while contributing to immune system ...

Cells have sophisticated methods of sensing stimuli and communicating with nearby cells in response to these stimuli. For example, macrophages can sense environmental stimuli—tissue damage, foreign ...

Autoimmune diseases stem from a complicated interplay of immune dysregulation, characterized by chronic inflammation and the loss of self-tolerance. Cytokines are central to these processes. These ...

Cytokines and their kin, alternatively called interleukins, growth factors, interferons, necrosis factors, and others, are soluble messengers responsible for communication between nearby cells, ...

People often get immunotherapy as a treatment for cancer. These immunotherapy treatments can be effective, but they may cause your immune system to have an unnatural response. Your body, as a result ...

Sanofi’s work with engineered cytokines has stumbled in the clinic, but the company isn’t throwing in the towel yet on such therapies, which hold potential for treating autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Researchers have discovered in a preclinical model that cytokines, proteins that control immune response, circulating in maternal blood during pregnancy may mitigate an offspring's risk for ...

Researchers have developed a single score to describe the level of cytokines in the saliva, and this score is linked with the severity of clinical gum inflammation. Researchers at NYU College of ...

Cytokines are small proteins that serve as the fundamental chemical messengers of the immune system. They also play a key cell signaling role in stem cell biology, relaying messages that direct stem ...
