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 ...

People often get immunotherapy as a treatment for cancer. These immunotherapy treatments can be effective, but they may cause your immune system to have an unnatural response. Your body, as a result ...

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

Ovarian cancer treatment faces challenges with high relapse and drug resistance rates, despite initial chemotherapy effectiveness. Cytokines like IL-6 and IL-11 are associated with complex tumor ...

Microglial cells, the primary immune cells of the brain and central nervous system, are known to undergo striking morphological changes in response to sensory or neural stimuli. However, the ...

Autoimmune diseases result from a complex interaction of immune system imbalances, marked by a breakdown in self-tolerance and sustained inflammation. At the core of this dysregulation are ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Researchers found an inverse relationship between cytokine IL-6 and five of the six evaluated cognitive domains.

Cytokines are small proteins that enable cells to communicate with each other, particularly to modulate the immune system—an increasingly popular target in drug development for immunology, virology, ...

Researchers have developed a new method of locally delivering cytokines alongside T cells that could lead to improved CAR-T cell therapies. CAR-T cell therapies utilize engineered T cells that have a ...

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 ...
