Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Interleukin (IL)-1 family of cytokines modulate immune responses during infection and inflammation. IL-18 and IL-1β are members of the IL-1 family, which contribute to inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease. IL-18 and IL-1β are produced as inactive precursors that are activated by large macromolecular complexes called inflammasomes upon sensing damage or pat...
