Scientists find the protein IL-17 that fights infection also acts on the brain, inducing anxiety or sociability. This adds to evidence that immune molecules can influence behavior during illness.

Cytokines regulate growth and functions of a variety of cells including immune and hematopoietic cells. The SOCS family proteins negatively regulate cytokine signaling, thereby preventing ...
