title: Cytokine networking in lung inflammation.
abstract: 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.
