The inflammatory network

Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2002 Apr;57(2):147.

Abstract

In the last few years the findings on allergic inflammation have improved, particularly in cellular signaling. Now we know that cytokines and other mediators are a network able to regulate the allergic inflammation (and inflammation in general). The new findings are important not only for basic science but also for the development of new therapeutic approaches to allergic diseases.
