Overview

Inflammatory pathways involving cytokines and chemokines refer to the complex network of signaling proteins that regulate immune cell recruitment, activation, and function during inflammation. These molecules are central to both initiating and resolving inflammatory responses in the body. Cytokines act as chemical messengers, regulating immune cell behavior and mediating both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects. Chemokines primarily direct cell migration, especially leukocytes, to sites of infection or injury. Dysregulation in these pathways is implicated in various diseases, making them therapeutic targets for modulating inflammation.
