Brief description Cytokines are hormones that regulate blood cell production and function. The research proposed in this application focuses on the biological roles and biochemical mechanisms of action of an important family of proteins that control the actions of cytokines, thereby allowing their beneficial effects in coordinating oxygen transport, blood clotting and responses to infection, while preventing the harmful effects of excess responses, such as myeloproliferative diseases or autoimmunity.
