    Abstract : Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is an endogenous mediator of the inflammatory response. IL-1 executes its actions by binding and subsequent activation of the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) proteins. Among the many systemic effects of IL-1, the fever response was the first to be investigated. READ MORE

    Abstract : The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM): polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM) are chronic rheumatic muscle diseases of unknown origin that are characterized by muscle weakness and by inflammatory infiltrates in the skeletal muscle. Treatment with glucocorticoids and other immunosuppressive agents has improved outcome but not all patients respond to this treatment and most patients have only a partial response and side effects are common.

    Abstract : The proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) -1α, IL-1β and IL-6 are key mediators in the host's response to injury and infection. One of the systemic responses elicited by these proinflammatory cytokines, when injected peripherally or centrally, is fever. Thus, these proteins may act as endogenous pyrogens. READ MORE
