Cytokines – regulators of immunity
https://doi.org/10.55959/MSU0137-0952-16-79-2S-3
Abstract
This short review focuses on cytokines, molecular mediators of immunity and many other physiological functions of the body. Research on cytokines revealed new principles of cell-tocell communications and new paradigms in intracellular signal transduction. A few recombinant cytokines and, paradoxically, some cytokine inhibitors found practical use in medicine.
