Cytokine networking in lung inflammation.
The molecules that mediate normal events in the lung also regulate the development and ultimate resolution of pulmonary inflammation. And they can orchestrate such fulminant, life-threatening disorders as septic shock. Which cytokines are involved, and how may their physiologic roles be subverted? Interleukins and tumor necrosis factor-alpha are key players.
