Abstract

Cytokine signaling is a fundamental component of the immune system, governing communication between cells and orchestrating responses to various physiological challenges. This intricate network of small proteins regulates immune functions, inflammation, and tissue repair. Understanding the mechanisms and pathways involved in cytokine signaling is essential for unraveling the complexities of immune regulation and holds significant implications for therapeutic interventions in various diseases. This article provides an overview of cytokine signaling, exploring its classification, signaling pathways, regulatory mechanisms, and its pivotal role in health and disease.
