Cytokines (/ ˈ s aɪ t ə k aɪ n /) [1] are a broad and loose category of small proteins (~5–25 kDa [2]) important in cell signaling. Due to their size, cytokines cannot cross the lipid bilayer of cells to enter the cytoplasm and therefore typically exert their functions by interacting with specific cytokine receptors on the target
Cytokinesis illustration Ciliate undergoing cytokinesis, with the cleavage furrow being clearly visible.. Cytokinesis (/ ˌ s aɪ t oʊ k ɪ ˈ n iː s ɪ s /) is the part of the cell division process and part of mitosis during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells.
Neutrophils then trigger other parts of the immune system by releasing factors that summon additional leukocytes and lymphocytes. Cytokines produced by macrophages and other cells of the innate immune system mediate the inflammatory response. These cytokines include TNF, HMGB1, and IL-1. [6]

IL-17A specifically targets keratinocytes and is the major cytokine causing pathogenesis of skin psoriasis. [18] In addition, IL-17A is also expressed to an increasing extent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. [19] ILC 3 may play a role already in the prenatal setting of the body's resistance to infections.
Interleukin 3 (IL3) is a cytokine that regulates hematopoiesis by controlling the production, differentiation and function of granulocytes and macrophages. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] The protein, which exists in vivo as a monomer, is produced in activated T cells and mast cells, [ 15 ] [ 16 ] and is activated by the cleavage of an N-terminal signal sequence.

Cytokines are signals used in the immune system for intercellular communication. There are many cytokines that affect megakaryocytes. Certain cytokines such as IL-3 , IL-6 , IL-11 , LIF , erythropoietin , and thrombopoietin all stimulate the maturation of megakaryocytic progenitor cells. [ 9 ]
