GlossaryCytokine

protein signaling molecule crucial for immune response and inflammation

A cytokine is a type of protein that acts as a signaling molecule in the body, helping cells communicate with each other, especially in immune responses. They play a crucial role in regulating inflammation, immune system activity, and cell growth, making them important in both health and disease contexts, such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and even hair loss conditions like alopecia.
