New cytokines and receptors make their debut in San Antonio.
Two exciting developments were reported at the recent Seventh International Lymphokine Workshop. First, a number of recently cloned cytokines and cytokine receptors were described, proving that there is still a great deal to be learned about the most fundamental aspects of cell-cell communication. Second, advances were reported in the understanding of post-receptor signalling at both cytoplasmic and nuclear levels.
