Cytokines are small proteins that mediate and regulate immune responses, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. They play a crucial role in cell signaling, influencing immune cell communication during infections, injuries, and diseases. Current research in cytokines explores their role in diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections, as well as their potential for therapeutic applications, such as cytokine therapy, immune modulation, and targeting specific cytokine pathways to improve disease outcomes.
