- What are Cytokines? Types Function - Cleveland Clinic
Cytokines are proteins that help control inflammation in your body They allow your immune system to fight germs and other substances that can make you sick Cytokines are the chemical messengers that help your immune cells fight germs
- Cytokine - Wikipedia
Cytokines ( ˈsaɪtəkaɪn ) [1] are a broad and loose category of small proteins (~5–25 kDa [2]) important in cell signaling Cytokines are produced by a broad range of cells, including immune cells, as well as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and various types of connective tissue cells
- The Role of Cytokines in the Body - Verywell Health
Cells release cytokines into your blood circulation or directly into tissues The cytokines locate the immune cells they're designed to target and bind to the cell's receptors This interaction triggers or stimulates specific responses by the target cells
- Cytokines and Their Side Effects | American Cancer Society
Cytokines are small immune system proteins that can be used as an immunotherapy treatment for cancer Learn more about how they work, and their side effects
- What are cytokines? - Live Science
Cytokines help the immune system kill pathogens, but too many cytokines can lead to bad health outcomes and may turn into a "cytokine storm "
- Cytokines: Introduction | British Society for Immunology
Cytokines are a large, diverse family of small proteins or glycoproteins (usually smaller than 30 kDa) Although initially described for their immunomodulatory capabilities, additional roles separate from the immune system in developmental processes are also documented, such as cell differentiation and directed migration
- Cytokines: From Clinical Significance to Quantification
Cytokines are critical mediators that oversee and regulate immune and inflammatory responses via complex networks and serve as biomarkers for many diseases
- Cytokine Secretion and Its Role in Health and Disease
Cytokines also play a part in the aging process, with some pro-inflammatory cytokines contributing to age-related decline in tissue regeneration, such as in bone healing When Cytokine Secretion Imbalance Occurs When cytokine secretion becomes dysregulated, it can lead to various health problems One severe consequence is a “cytokine storm
