Let’s explore “Polymyalgia rheumatica and inflammation”

IL6 encodes interleukin-6, a cytokine involved in immune responses and acute-phase signaling. It can appear in discussions of infection, chronic inflammation and metabolic health, with effects that depend on the context.

TNF encodes tumor necrosis factor, an immune-signaling protein involved in inflammation, host defense and regulation of cell survival. Its name should not be read as proof that a TNF result indicates cancer.

CCL11 encodes eotaxin-1, a chemokine best known for attracting eosinophils. Its receptor relationships connect it to allergic inflammation as well as broader research into immune signaling.

TGFB1 encodes transforming growth factor beta 1, which has roles in immune regulation, tissue repair and extracellular-matrix production. Its effects can include both regulation of inflammation and promotion of fibrosis.

Explore NAFLD, NASH, MASLD, MASH, hepatitis, the IL-23/IL-17 axis, and liver inflammation.

Explore migraine, neurovascular inflammation, trigeminal signaling, CGRP, and related research.

Explore multiple sclerosis (MS), central nervous system inflammation, myelin, symptoms, and related immune signals.

Explore type I interferon signaling, pain, inflammation, and questions about treatment.

Explore interleukin-18 receptor 1, IL-18, IFN-gamma, NF-kappa B, NLRP3, and related inflammation and treatment research.

Explore interleukin-18 receptor accessory protein, IL18R1, MyD88, and mucosal and systemic inflammation.

Explore interleukin-5, eosinophils, type 2 inflammation, genetic terminology, and treatment options.

Explore skin inflammation, dermal collagen, granulomas, and related immune signals.
