Immune cells are regulated by cytokines, key molecules (of which there are more than 100 major types) that send chemical messages that dictate how and when immune cells develop or activate against threats to our health. Cytokines are so critical to the function of the immune system that more than one million scientific publications have studied them — yet until now there’s been no systemic reference for understanding how specific cytokines affect different...
