IL-34 a Newly Discovered Cytokine

In this study we describe some biological effects of IL-34, a newly discovered cytokine. We show that Il-34 stimulates monocyte cell viability and directly modulates the number and function of monocytes and regulates myeloid cell growth and differentiation. Moreover, since IL-34 in mice is involved...

description In this study we describe some biological effects of IL-34, a newly discovered cytokine. We show that Il-34 stimulates monocyte cell viability and directly modulates the number and function of monocytes and regulates myeloid cell growth and differentiation. Moreover, since IL-34 in mice is involved in osteoporosis, an antagonist of this cytokine could be beneficial for the treatment of this disease.
