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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Structural equivalence is demonstrated through the comparison of a synthetic multinuclear metal complex (left) versus the designer enzyme in this report (right). A collaborative research team led by ...

Cytokines are well-known players in the immune response, helping to control inflammation and coordinate the responses of other immune cells. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that some ...

Researchers have discovered a novel treatment to relieve cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a life-threatening inflammation triggered by a serious infection or severe burn. Treatment with a short-acting ...

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 ...

Sanofi’s success co-developing a blockbuster drug based on blocking the signaling of interleukin 4 and interleukin 13 (IL-4 and IL-13) makes it an ideal partner to collaborate on inflammatory ...
