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 ...

The authoritative peer-reviewed source for research, analysis, and advances on the therapeutic role of cytokines and IFNs. Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling (SOCS) 1 is a key negative regulator of ...

The study identified 32 differentially expressed proteins in IPF, highlighting cytokine dysregulation as a key molecular feature of the disease. Five hub proteins—FGF2, HGF, HBEGF, ERBB3, and ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic B cells. While autoreactive T cells are key ...

Macrophages are some of the body’s most potent weapons against invading cellular threats. Like immunological ‘Hungry Hungry Hippos,’ macrophages engulf and dispose of cancer cells or invasive ...

Cytokines are secreted proteins critical for immune regulation, cell signaling, and tissue homeostasis. These cells are increasingly recognized as key tools in biomedical research, particularly in ...

A research team led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine scientists has developed a new strategy to engineer immune cells ...
