Scientific Journals On Cytokines

 

Cytokines are a loose and broad category of small proteins which are important in cell signaling. Cytokines are peptides and can't cross the lipid bilayer of cells to enter the cytoplasm. Cytokines are shown to be involved in autocrine, paracrine and endocrine signaling as immune modulating agents. Their definite distinction from hormones remains a part of ongoing research.

Cytokines include chemokines, interferons, interleukins, lymphokines, and tumour necrosis factors, but generally not hormones or growth factors (despite some overlap within the terminology). Cytokines are produced by a broad range of cells, including immune cells like macrophages, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and mast cells, also as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and various stromal cells; a given cytokine could also be produced by quite one sort of cell. They act by using cell surface receptors and are especially important in the immune system; cytokines acts by balancing between cell-based and cell-based immune responses, and that they regulate the growth, maturation, and responsiveness of particular cell populations.
