Abstract

The appearance, accumulation, degradation, and biologic activity of different cytokines at sites of injury and inflammation have attracted considerable attention. These signal peptides synthesized by inflammatory cells are justifiably thought to convey fundamental intercellular messages that regulate the process of repair.
