Cytokine Modulation

Molecular classification: Cytokines, Interleukins (ILs), Chemokines, Interferons (IFNs), Tumor necrosis factors (TNFs), Lymphokines, Receptors, Soluble receptors

Overview

Cytokine modulation refers to the regulation of cytokines, small secreted proteins that act as key signaling molecules in the immune system. Cytokines are crucial for cell-to-cell communication, orchestrating immune responses, inflammation, tissue repair, and homeostasis. Dysregulation can contribute to autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiency, cancer, and other conditions. Therapeutic modulation is a major strategy across many fields, often involving monoclonal antibodies targeting specific cytokines or receptors.

Mechanism of action

Binding to surface receptors, triggering intracellular signaling cascades, altering gene expression and function.
