cytokiine
Cytokines are a broad and loose category of small proteins important in cell signaling. They are released by cells and affect the behavior of other cells. Cytokines are critical components of the immune system and are involved in regulating inflammation, immunity, and cell growth and differentiation. They can be broadly classified into pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemoattractant cytokines, each playing distinct roles in physiological and pathological processes.
The primary producers of cytokines are immune cells, such as macrophages and lymphocytes. However, many other
The balance of cytokine production and signaling is crucial for maintaining homeostasis. Dysregulation of cytokine networks
