Difference between Inflammation and Proinflammatory cytokine

Inflammation vs. Proinflammatory cytokine

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. A proinflammatory cytokine or more simply an inflammatory cytokine is a type of signaling molecule (a cytokine) that is excreted from immune cells like helper T cells (Th) and macrophages, and certain other cell types that promote inflammation.

Similarities between Inflammation and Proinflammatory cytokine

Inflammation and Proinflammatory cytokine have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atherosclerosis, Cancer, Cytokine, Inflammation, Inflammatory bowel disease, Innate immune system, Interferon gamma, Interleukin 1 beta, Interleukin 10, Interleukin 18, Interleukin 6, Interleukin-1 family, Macrophage, Obesity, Tumor necrosis factor alpha.

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque.

Innate immune system

The innate immune system, also known as the non-specific immune system or in-born immunity system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms involved in the defense of the host from infection by other organisms.

Interleukin 1 beta

Interleukin 1 beta (IL1β) also known as leukocytic pyrogen, leukocytic endogenous mediator, mononuclear cell factor, lymphocyte activating factor and other names, is a cytokine protein that in humans is encoded by the IL1B gene.
