Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will feature a selection of up-to-date review articles related to cytokines, with a particular emphasis on the usefulness of cytokine determination in healthy individuals and patients with civilization diseases.
Cytokines are proteins that play a key role in regulating the immune and inflammatory responses. Understanding their functions can lead to the development of new treatment and prevention strategies. Many civilization diseases—such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders—are associated with immunological disorders and the initiation of inflammatory state. Therefore, we are seeking new indicators/biomarkers that allow for early detection and thus improve the prognosis of survival for patients with selected civilization diseases.
This Special Issue welcomes review articles discussing various aspects of the role of cytokines in the processes leading to the development of various diseases, as well as their usefulness in detecting, differentiating, and treating these conditions.
