Cytokines act through their receptors to transmit cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and functional activity signals. Cytokine receptors are a conserved family of about 40 members, ...

Recently, a research team from Chongqing Medical University, led by Prof. Wei Huang, Dr. Wei Bao, and Dr. Yiting Lei, has successfully developed a novel engineered extracellular matrix (eECM) to ...

Cytokines, such as interleukins (e.g., IL-2), are used to promote the expansion of T cells in immune research. Cytokines also regulate the survival of cells by protecting cells from apoptosis ...

Cancer treatment has long faced a challenging trade-off: therapies strong enough to eliminate tumors often cause severe side effects. One promising solution involves cytokines, natural proteins that ...

When the macrophages’ ability to consume dying cancer cells or Upd3 production was decreased, tumor growth was significantly ...

Some cytokines appear to play a key role in psoriasis. What Do Your Genes Have to Do With It? Genes are sets of plans inside every cell in your body.

Cytokines are a type of messenger protein that help direct the body’s immune response. In cytokine release syndrome, the number of cytokines is too high. You may have a mild reaction with a ...

A team of researchers from the San Raffaele-Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy (SR-TIGET, Milan), led by Nadia Coltella and ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

Scientists introduce cytokines and growth factors into culture media to manipulate the signaling pathways involved in organoid formation. Different combinations can be used to culture almost all ...

WASHINGTON, DC — Use of antiepithelial-derived cytokines was of limited benefit for patients with severe asthma who had low eosinophil counts, as indicated by data from a systematic review that ...
