Interleukin Family

Interleukins are a group of proteins that help immune cells communicate and coordinate responses to infections, injuries, or other threats. They act like messengers, signaling immune cells to activate, grow, or direct their actions. Different interleukins have specific roles, such as promoting inflammation or supporting immune defense. By regulating these interactions, interleukins play a crucial part in maintaining health and fighting disease. Researchers study them to develop treatments for immune-related conditions, including autoimmune diseases and cancers.
