interleking
Interleukins are a group of cytokines, which are small proteins secreted by cells of the immune system that act as signaling molecules. They play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and are involved in a wide range of biological processes, particularly those related to inflammation, immunity, and hematopoiesis (the formation of blood cellular components). The term "interleukin" literally means "between leukocytes," reflecting their initial discovery as signaling molecules produced by and acting upon white blood cells.
There are many different interleukins, numbered from IL-1 onwards, with new ones still being identified. Each
Interleukins are vital for orchestrating the adaptive immune response, helping to activate and differentiate lymphocytes such
