Talk:Inflammatory cytokine

Drafting a New Lead Section and Proposed Changes
Proinflammatory cytokines are a specific category of cytokines that are important in cell signaling. These cytokines act to make a disease worse, contrasted to those that are anti-inflammatory, which promote healing and reduce inflammation. Functions include neutralizing antibodies, serving as soluble receptors and receptor antagonists, and inhibiting proteases.Proinflammatory cytokines arise from genes that code for the translation of small mediator molecules that induce a response after upregulation. For example, chemokines are a class of genes that are proinflammatory. IL-1, TNF, and chemokines are examples of proinflammatory cytokines.

Proinflammatory cytokines work with other important molecules from the immune system, such as neutrophils and leukocytes, in generating an immune response. This proinflammatory cytokine-mediated inflammation generates a collection of gene products when there are triggers that notice the presence of a foreign body. However, excessive amounts of proinflammatory cytokines have been shown to cause detrimental effects, causing chronic systemic elevations in the body. A lack of regulation in the release of these cytokines has been linked to different diseases, such as atherosclerosis and cancers. There are further implications that misregulation of proinflammatory cytokines is also linked to depression and other neurologically related effects to the body. Aging and exercise also plays a role in the amount of inflammation produced through the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) Recent therapies reveal the method of blocking proinflammatory cytokines as a response towards the attack of these cytokines against our own bodies.

It is important that the regulation between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines stay balanced, as that could alter one's susceptibility to a disease.

Proposed Changes: I plan to add more information in the "Clinical implications" section about: Additional things to possibly add: Immcarle2 (talk) 06:58, 9 February 2016 (UTC) Immcarle2 (talk) 06:54, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Helpful articles about proinflammatory cytokines
As a part of my Immunology class, we are choosing an article to expand and provide more information. This article appears to be a starter article that is important within a larger topic of cell signaling. There are many cytokines that send different signals throughout the body, but these specific ones are important in promoting an immune response. Because this article is barely starting to develop, I compiled a bibliography of relevant articles that relate to the study of proinflammatory cytokines:

copyediting and attention by content expert needed
The article is on a really poor level regarding content, structure and style.

It was apparently written by people inexperienced in writing in general, lack of content knowledge, dare-I-say expertise (even basic basic physiology like what are white blood cells), and inexperienced in WP editing. Haven´t checked for copyvios, but the text to me suggests really uncritical lifting and paraphrasing from biomed journals.

content examples:
 * No definition section- a problem in 80% of science articles...
 * entirely human focus (very primitive)
 * editorializing.
 * WP articles must be balanced ( here: just negative impacts of Proinflammatory cytokineare mentioned)

formal examples:
 * someone changed the page title to singular, ok, but didnt do teh work in teh body of teh text (not thorough, not smart or lazy)
 * use of the term patient (must not be used).
 * excessive wordiness (WP should clarify and not complicate/hype things)

references:
 * no reviews used
 * as much as possible open access refs should be used. otherwise how can anyone but a member of a university check the veracity of a claim?

Ive just noticed, that Carleton College is unleashing its brains on immunology articles again and I hope that rather than creating new bad articles existing immunology articles are getting a thorough makeover and maintenance check! (like microbioal symbiosis and immunity) --Wuerzele (talk) 08:52, 16 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Agreed that this article needs a lot of copyedit. I made an initial stab at the lead. Boghog (talk) 12:04, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
