Akihiko Yoshimura and his colleagues review our current knowledge on the functions of SOCS proteins and their role in the immune system and propose a cohesive model of how cytokine signalling ...

Within this context, cytokines and growth factors are indispensable tools, as these signaling molecules regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, survival and immune responses. Their inclusion in ...

Cytokines are minute proteins with a central role in regulating immune cells’ growth, differentiation, and activation, meaning that they are vital for proper immune system functioning.

But instead of focusing on fighting off an infection or injury, these cytokines also attack healthy tissue. Psoriasis itself doesn’t weaken the immune system, but it is a sign that the immune ...
