- Title
Cytokines: Where there's smoke, there's fire.
- Authors
Bird, Lucy
- Abstract
The article discusses how prior exposure to cigarette smoke facilitates exaggerated response to viral or bacterial infections in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients through interleukin-33 (IL-33) and type 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC). It references the study "Cigarette smoke silences innate lymphoid cell function and facilitates an exacerbated type I interleukin-33-dependent response to infection," by J. Kearley and colleagues in the 2015 issue of "Immunity."
