CytokineStrom
CytokineStrom is a term used in immunology to describe the complex milieu of cytokines present in a specific microenvironment, particularly within a tumor. Cytokines are small proteins that mediate and regulate immunity and inflammation. In the context of CytokineStrom, these signaling molecules are secreted by various cells within the tumor microenvironment, including tumor cells themselves, immune cells (like T cells, macrophages, and neutrophils), stromal cells (like fibroblasts), and endothelial cells.
The composition and concentration of cytokines within the CytokineStrom are highly dynamic and can significantly influence
Understanding the CytokineStrom is crucial for developing effective cancer immunotherapies. By modulating the specific cytokines present,
