The effect of a particular cytokine on a given cell depends on the cytokine, its extracellular abundance, the presence and abundance of the complementary receptor on the cell surface, and downstream signals activated by receptor binding; these last two factors can vary by cell type. Cytokines are characterized by considerable redundancy, in ...
While cytokinin action in vascular plants is described as pleiotropic, this class of plant hormones specifically induces the transition from apical growth to growth via a three-faced apical cell in moss protonema. This bud induction can be pinpointed to differentiation of a specific single cell, and thus is a very specific effect of cytokinin. [18]

CCL8 is a small cytokine belonging to ...
CCL2 is a small cytokine that belongs to the CC chemokine family. CCL2 tightly regulates cellular mechanics [5] and thereby recruits monocytes, memory T cells, and dendritic cells to the sites of inflammation produced by either tissue injury or infection. [6] [7]
RPE cells are ideal cytokine delivery systems because they are nontumorigenic, display contact inhibition, are amenable to genetic modification, have bene previously used in human trials for therapeutic delivery systems, and are safe to use. [3] RPE cells engineered to produce different cytokines were encapsulated in alginate-based microparticles.
The genes for CCL3 and CCL4 are both located on human chromosome 17 [9] and on murine chromosome 11. [4] They are produced by many cells, particularly macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes. [10] MIP-1 are best known for their chemotactic and proinflammatory effects but can also promote homeostasis. [10]
Chemokines (from Ancient Greek χῠμείᾱ (khumeíā) 'alchemy' and κῑ́νησῐς (kī́nēsis) 'movement'), or chemotactic cytokines, are a family of small cytokines or signaling proteins secreted by cells that induce directional movement of leukocytes, as well as other cell types, including endothelial and epithelial cells.
CXCL10 is secreted by several cell types in response to IFN-γ.These cell types include monocytes, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. [5] CXCL10 has been attributed to several roles, such as chemoattraction for monocytes/macrophages, T cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells, promotion of T cell adhesion to endothelial cells, antitumor activity, and inhibition of bone marrow colony formation and ...
