Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifaceted cytokine that serves as a critical mediator in immune regulation, inflammation and tissue regeneration. Its activity is mediated through several signalling ...
In a recent study on the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers identified an interleukin 6 (IL-6) dependent alternative pathway as a therapeutic strategy against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
However, imbalances of IL-6 — too much or too little — can cause disease, even in the absence of infection. Excess IL-6 is central to the pathogenesis of inflammatory reactions like rheumatoid disease ...
Schematic diagram of the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway activation in mouse liver macrophages. IRs, inhibitory receptors (IRs); ICIs, immune checkpoint inhibitors; IL-6, interleukin-6; ALT, alanine ...
When it comes to reducing inflammation to decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke, results from the much-anticipated Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial (CIRT) indicate that targeting ...

Tiziana Life Sciences has pointed to increased Big Pharma interest in the IL-6 pathway as justification for its decision to spin out its own candidate into a separate company. In September, Tiziana ...
Inflammatory molecules circulating in the blood may worsen disease symptoms and points to new opportunities for targeted therapy.
