cytokine therapy

Cytokine therapy involves using proteins called cytokines to boost or modulate the immune system's response against diseases like cancer or infections. Cytokines act as signaling molecules that direct immune cells to areas needing defense or repair. In therapy, synthetic or lab-made cytokines are administered to enhance the body's natural immune activity, helping to improve disease-fighting abilities. This approach can increase immune cell growth, activation, and coordination, making it a powerful tool in treatments where strengthening the immune response is beneficial.
