Cytokines and disease
Series edited by Marc Feldmann
 | Cytokines are small protein mediators involved in essentially all biological processes. As such, abnormalities in cytokines, their receptors, and the signaling pathways that they initiate are involved in a wide variety of diseases. This Review Series discusses the important role of cytokines and their receptors in just a few of these diseases, specifically three chronic inflammatory disease areas and two forms of cancer, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets. |
