Cytokines in Inflammation: The Orchestra of Immune Response

Divyanka Tripathi

Inflammation is a complex physiological response that plays a dual role in the body—protecting against infections and injuries while also contributing to chronic diseases when dysregulated. Cytokines, small signaling proteins, are key orchestrators of inflammation, modulating immune responses and influencing tissue homeostasis. This article explores the intricate relationship between cytokines and inflammation, delving into their roles, mechanisms, and the significance of understanding this interplay. From the initiation and propagation of inflammation to its resolution and dysregulation, cytokines serve as critical players in this dynamic process, offering potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers.
