Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) in health and disease: a translational journey from metabolic stress to oncology and paediatric pathophysiology
Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15) is a stress-responsive cytokine linking metabolism, inflammation and disease pathophysiology. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of its physiological and pathological functions, e...

Senescence-associated secretory phenotype in urological cancers: molecular mechanisms, tumor microenvironment modulation, and therapeutic targeting
Cellular senescence is a durable stress response with double effects on cancer. Although stable cell-cycle arrest may initially restrict tumor growth, senescent tumor and stromal cells remain metabolically active and can remodel the tumo...

Integrative transcriptomic analysis identifies resistin as a candidate serum marker associated with atopic dermatitis severity
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with systemic immune dysregulation, but peripheral molecular markers that reliably reflect clinical severity remain insufficiently validated. Using complementary bulk and single-cell trans...

The interleukin-18/Interleukin-18 binding protein axis across allergy, systemic autoimmunity, and hyperinflammation: from total to free IL-18
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic IL-1-family cytokine whose clinical relevance depends strongly on context. A central reason is that IL-18 activity is constrained by interleukin-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), a high-affinity endoge...

Gout as a systemic cardio-inflammatory disease: molecular and clinical links between hyperuricaemia and cardiovascular remodelling
This narrative review summarises epidemiological associations and evaluates proposed mechanisms linking gout and hyperuricaemia with cardiovascular dysfunction and remodelling. Gout is a crystal arthropathy that is increasingly recognise...

GM-CSF: from emergency myelopoiesis to central innate immune memory
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a pleiotropic cytokine classically recognized as a central regulator of emergency myelopoiesis, promoting the expansion and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor...

Gut microbiota-driven epigenetic regulation of cytokine gene expression: microbial metabolites, chromatin mechanisms, and clinical perspectives
Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut microbiota regulates cytokine gene expression through multiple epigenetic mechanisms that shape chromatin states in response to microbial metabolites. Alterations in the gut microbiota have bee...

The role of leptin in osteoarthritis: from pathogenesis to clinical implications
Osteoarthritis (OA) is increasingly recognized as a multifactorial disease in which metabolic dysfunction and chronic low-grade inflammation contribute to joint degeneration. Among the mediators involved, leptin has emerged as a key adip...

Cancer and fibrosis: two different fates for a single player. Role of cytokines
Cancer and fibrosis are two pathological conditions that although of different clinical appearance have several shared characteristics, most likely because of a common etiology (for example in case of Silica). Here, we present a comprehe...

Distinct serum chemokine signatures differentiate rheumatoid arthritis from non-rheumatoid arthritides
Background: Early and accurate differential diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains challenging, particularly in patients with seronegative or non-specific inflammatory arthritides. Because cytokines and chemokines play central ro...
