Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a master pro-inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by macrophages, along with dendritic cells, T cells, and adipocytes. With 483 mentions across 262 files, TNF-alpha is the most referenced inflammatory mediator in the WikiBi…
Interleukin-10 is the primary anti-inflammatory cytokine, produced by Treg cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells. It suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine production (IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1β), inhibits antigen presentation, and maintains immune tolerance. IL-10…
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is a master pro-inflammatory cytokine and the primary product of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Unlike IL-6 and TNF-alpha (which are transcriptionally regulated by nf kappa b), IL-1β requires a two-step activation: (1) NF-kB-driven transcription of p…
Systemic inflammation is the state in which inflammatory mediators — IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP, IL-1beta — circulate throughout the body rather than remaining confined to a local injury site. In the WikiBiome framework, systemic inflammation is the final common pathway throu…
