Inflammation is mediated and regulated by cytokines secreted by immune cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils, which recruit additional cells, control the response, and signal processes like cell activation and tissue repair [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].

claimTumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytokine that helps regulate inflammation and signals immune cells to kill tumor cells.
claimHigh levels of cytokines can cause excessive inflammation that is potentially harmful if left untreated.
claimCytokines signal cell activation by directing immune cells toward infection sites to fight germs and by heightening or lessening processes associated with inflammation.
claimCytokines are signaling proteins that help control inflammation in the human body.
claimHealthcare providers can test blood samples for cytokines to assess levels of inflammation in a patient.
claimCytokines are chemical messengers that regulate inflammation in the body by signaling cells on how to behave, including directing cell activation, differentiation, and proliferation.
claimElevated levels of cytokines in the blood may indicate heightened inflammation, which might require medical treatment.
claimExcessive levels of cytokines can lead to excess inflammation and conditions such as autoimmune diseases.

claimUpon activation, leukocytes release additional cytokines and mediators of inflammation.
claimLymphocytes, including T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes, mediate inflammation by secreting cytokines, costimulating other lymphocytes, and producing antibodies and immune complexes.
claimOnce circulating leukocytes enter a local injury site, they are activated by cytokines and chemokines secreted by macrophages and dendritic cells, subsequently releasing their own cytokines and mediators of inflammation.

claimCytokines and their receptors participate in diverse biological functions, including innate and adaptive immunity, inflammation, immune cell differentiation, angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, development, neurobiology, and viral pathogenesis.
claimInflammation is the immune system's primary response to infection and foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses, involving the release of cytokines from white blood cells into the blood or affected tissues.
Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines Overview | Thermo Fisher Scientific - US thermofisher.com 2 facts
claimCytokines are small secreted proteins that act as key modulators of inflammation and are produced in response to invading pathogens to stimulate, recruit, and proliferate immune cells.
claimImmune cells communicate via cytokines, which control cell proliferation, differentiation, and function, and are involved in inflammation, hematopoiesis, neurogenesis, embryogenesis, and oncogenesis.

claimMacrophages activate other parts of the immune system by secreting chemical signals called cytokines after ingesting a pathogen, which recruits other immune cells to the area and leads to inflammation.
claimThe secretion of cytokines by macrophages recruits other immune cells to the area, which leads to inflammation.
