Definición

  • The regulation of vital physiological processes, for example, replenishment of mature blood cells from bone marrow stem cells, termed hematopoiesis, and the activation of defense mechanisms against pathological microbes and injury has been shown to depend on the production and action of a variety of biologically active proteins, collectively known as cytokines. Central among cytokines is a class of mediators, largely involved in the regulation of immune, inflammatory, and hematopoietic functions, called the interleukins.
