    GlossaryInflammatory Cytokines

    small proteins that regulate and promote inflammation in the body

    Inflammatory cytokines are small proteins released by cells, especially immune cells, that play a crucial role in regulating inflammation in the body. They act as signaling molecules that help coordinate the body's response to injury or infection, but excessive production can lead to chronic inflammation and contribute to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia.
