The Language of Immunity: Interleukins, Cytokine Storms & the Brain’s Secret Code 🧬🔥
from The Deep Dive Lab: Unraveling Materials Science · host Son Hoang
We imagine immunity as a battlefield—but it’s really a communication network. 🧠📡 Interleukins act as urgent molecular directives, deciding whether tissues repair or self-destruct.From microglia “pioneers” awakening astrocyte giants, to cytokine storms driven by IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ, and HMGB1, this episode explores how inflammation becomes either salvation—or catastrophe.Discover the dual nature of IL-22 (gut healer, skin destroyer) and the body’s elegant decoy strategy with IL-22BP.If inflammation is a language… can we learn to control the storm?#Immunology #Neuroimmunology #CytokineStorm #Interleukin #BrainScience #COVID19 #StrokeResearch #PrecisionMedicine #SciencePodcast #deepdivelab
