GlossaryChemokines

small proteins that direct immune cells to inflammation sites

Chemokines are small signaling proteins that guide the movement of immune cells to sites of inflammation, infection, or injury. They play a crucial role in the body's immune response by directing cells like white blood cells to where they are needed most, helping to fight off infections and heal damaged tissues.
