Multifarious Aspect of Cytokines as an Immuno-Therapeutic for Various Diseases.

Cytokines are known to be a group of growing small proteins that are majorly responsible for the transmission of signals and communication between hematopoietic cells, the cells of the human immune system, and other types of cells. Cytokines play a dominant role in different types of disorders and in perpetuating the inflammation-related disorders. The production of cytokines is a natural process inside the body of a human being against any foreign invasion or due to some pathogenic state to maintain the homeostasis. Cytokines respond in two ways; in some cases, the production and development of cytokines as a therapeutic discovery or intervention will enhance the treatment process and support the reaction given by the body against any pathogenic activity, and in some cases, overproduction of these cytokines responds in the opposite way and behaves as antagonists toward a typical therapeutic drug and its treatment. Overall, 41 articles were reviewed, and it was found that cytokines have proved to be a therapeutic approach among various diseases and can be utilized as a good candidate or a better choice for cancer therapeutics in future development.
