Cytokine Biology

 Cytokines are a huge group of proteins, peptides, or glycoproteins secreted by specific immune-system cells. Cytokines are a signalling molecules category, that mediate and regulate immunity, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Cytokines released from one cell affect other cells' actions by binding to their surface receptors. The cytokines help regulate the immune response through this process. These are generated by a wide range of cells, including immune cells such as macrophages, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and mast cells, as well as endothelial cells , fibroblasts, and various stromal cells; more than one type of cell may produce a given cytokine.Cytokine Biology Journal tends to focus on such aspects as interleukins, chemokines, monokines, interferons, and lymphokines. Reports on the cytokine-based immune response, balance of innate and cell-based immune responses, receptor binding studies involving cytokines, techniques used to test cytokine activity.
