TLDR
It turns out that regenerative or anti-inflammatory activities of interleukin-6 are mediated by classic signaling whereas pro-inflammatory responses of interLEukin -6 are rather mediated by trans-signaling.

Current concepts in the diagnosis and management of cytokine release syndrome

TL;DR: A novel system to grade the severity of CRS in individual patients and a treatment algorithm for management of C RS based on severity is presented, to maximize the chance for therapeutic benefit from the immunotherapy while minimizing the risk for life threatening complications of the syndrome.

Macrophage cytokines: involvement in immunity and infectious diseases.

TL;DR: The functions of cytokines secreted by macrophages are discussed, and what is known about their release mechanisms are summarized to delve into how selected pathogens subvert cytokine release for their own survival.

Targeting the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signalling axis in cancer.

TL;DR: Treatments that target the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway in patients with cancer are poised to provide therapeutic benefit by directly inhibiting tumour cell growth and by stimulating antitumour immunity.

Role of C-Reactive Protein at Sites of Inflammation and Infection

TL;DR: mounting evidence that CRP isoforms have distinct biological properties, with nCRP often exhibiting more anti-inflammatory activities compared to mCRP, and further studies are needed to expand on these emerging findings.

Inflammation and metabolic disorders

TL;DR: Dysfunction of the immune response and metabolic regulation interface can be viewed as a central homeostatic mechanism, dysfunction of which can lead to a cluster of chronic metabolic disorders, particularly obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Reciprocal developmental pathways for the generation of pathogenic effector TH17 and regulatory T cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that IL-6, an acute phase protein induced during inflammation, completely inhibits the generation of Foxp3+ Treg cells induced by TGF-β, and the data demonstrate a dichotomy in thegeneration of pathogenic (TH17) T cells that induce autoimmunity and regulatory (Foxp3+) T Cells that inhibit autoimmune tissue injury.

Principles of interleukin (IL)-6-type cytokine signalling and its regulation.

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent progress in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of IL-6-type cytokine signal transduction, with emphasis on the termination and modulation of the JAK/STAT signalling pathway mediated by tyrosine phosphatases, the SOCS (suppressor of cytokine signalling) feedback inhibitors and PIAS (protein inhibitor of activated STAT) proteins.

Transforming growth factor-beta induces development of the T(H)17 lineage.

TL;DR: This article identified transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) as a cytokine critical for commitment to Thelper-17 (T(H)17) development, which is required for host protection against a bacterial pathogen, Citrobacter rodentium.

Structural design and molecular evolution of a cytokine receptor superfamily.

TL;DR: This work proposes that the approximately 200-residue binding segment of the canonical cytokine receptor is composed of two discrete folding domains that share a significant sequence and structural resemblance with a likely binding site for cytokine ligands.
