Abstract

Cytokine therapy stands as a beacon of hope in modern medicine, offering targeted interventions across a spectrum of diseases by harnessing the intricate signaling pathways of the immune system. This abstract explores the multifaceted applications of cytokine therapy, focusing on its role in cancer treatment and autoimmune disorders. In cancer, cytokines like interleukin-2 and interferons stimulate immune responses against tumors, while engineered cytokines and combination therapies pave the way for enhanced efficacy and reduced toxicity. In autoimmune disorders, cytokine inhibitors provide targeted relief by modulating aberrant immune responses. Challenges such as off-target effects and resistance underscore the need for continued research and innovation. Looking ahead, advancements in cytokine engineering hold the promise of unlocking new treatment modalities and improving patient outcomes. As cytokine therapy continues to evolve, its potential to revolutionize patient care remains boundless, offering renewed hope for those in need.
