One Cytokine, Two Opposite Clinical Effects(Post)
Low-dose IL-2 expands regulatory T cells. High-dose IL-2 expands the cells they exist to restrain. Same cytokine, same receptor family, opposite clinical intent — and the explanation is a receptor su
Apoptosis Caspase Pathways: A Closer Look at Cellular Suicide(Post)Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a fundamental process that plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of healthy tissues. Central to this process are caspases, a family of cy
Cytokine Neutralisation In Vivo: Targets, Signals and Antibodies(Post)Almost any inflammatory phenotype in a mouse can be assigned to a cytokine by taking that cytokine away. Neutralisation is the most direct causal test immunology has: inject a functional-grade antibo
