However, imbalances of IL-6 — too much or too little — can cause disease, even in the absence of infection. Excess IL-6 is central to the pathogenesis of inflammatory reactions like rheumatoid disease ...
In a recent study on the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers identified an interleukin 6 (IL-6) dependent alternative pathway as a therapeutic strategy against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
However, the measurement of sIL-2R is simple compared to the complex story behind this biomarker that has become so central to the study of immune-mediated disease. Why measure soluble interleukin-2 ...
Researchers have identified several steps in the pathway that triggers the production of interleukin-1 beta, a key cytokine involved in the inflammatory response. Inflammation is an essential part of ...
