Background Muscle wasting and weakness (sarcopenia) are commonly associated with COPD causing frailty and reduced quality of ...

To send messages, cytokines bind to receptors on their target immune cells, much like a key fitting into a lock, to fulfill their role in the immune system. Interestingly, cytokines don't only affect ...

"One of the ways the immune system is doing that is to use cytokines, secreted factors, to go to the brain as communication tools." The researchers found that the same BLA neurons that have receptors ...

Cytokines are well-known players in the immune response, helping to control inflammation and coordinate the responses of other immune cells. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that some ...

“Identifying where and how cytokine receptors work in the brain, we have begun to unravel the complex relationship between the nervous and immune systems in the effect of this complex crosstalk on ...

Two new studies from MIT and Harvard Medical School, focusing on a cytokine called IL-17, now add to that evidence. The researchers found that IL-17 acts on two distinct brain regions—the ...
