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 ...

Researchers provide essential insights on the molecular activation of the MAP kinase p38?, the final switch triggering the inflammatory response. Inflammation is a cellular coping mechanism when ...

Cytokines contribute to the antitumor response through several key pathways and interactions with different immune cells. These include the following: (a) Natural killer (NK) cells: Cytokines such as ...

Researchers have discovered in a preclinical model that cytokines, proteins that control immune response, circulating in maternal blood during pregnancy may mitigate an offspring's risk for ...

The job of your immune system is to protect your body from harmful foreign substances and keep you healthy. But sometimes your immune system does your body more harm than good. A cytokine storm occurs ...

No potential conflict of interest relevant to this letter was reported. Gaestel M. What goes up must come down: molecular basis of MAPKAP kinase 2/3-dependent regulation of the inflammatory response ...

In this interview, News-Medical talks to Dr. Shuang Zhou about cytokine-base cancer immunotherapy, the current state of the field, and future prospects. Cytokines are molecular messengers released by ...

Cancer immunotherapy has advanced significantly in recent years, dramatically improving patient prognosis and survival. The majority of cancer immunotherapy research currently focuses on the first T ...

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 ...

Psoriasis causes your body to make new skin cells too quickly. These cells tend to pile up and form spots, bumps, and thick scaly patches called plaques that can be uncomfortable. Scientists think ...
