Article Synopsis
- * The study involved 92 children and adolescents with depression/anxiety treated with fluoxetine, along with blood samples from their parents and healthy controls, focusing on three cytokines: TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β.
- * Findings revealed that mothers of depressed children had elevated TNF-α levels and a correlation between IL-1β levels in depressed boys and their mothers, suggesting a possible familial vulnerability and highlighting the need to understand gender differences in stress-related inflammatory responses.
Natural killer cells can be separated into three major subsets (free, binder, and killer) based on their ability to bind and kill sensitive target cells. The nonbinder, nonkiller free cells are the most immature and can be activated to become binders and killers. Natural killer (NK) cells synthesize and secrete several cytokines that are intimately involved in NK activation.
