Cytokines are protein superheroes that enable our immune cells to chat!
Think of them as the messengers coordinating our body's defense team.
TNF-α, ILs, interferons, and chemokines are some examples of these vital communication proteins! 🦠

Dysgeusia - a word for taste lovers!
This altered taste perception during illness is a result of TNF-α either
1. stimulating our taste buds to produce bitterness, or
2. influencing our brain cells to perceive all tastes as bitter. #Dysgeusia #TNFα

It helps us fight infections, but it can also harm our own cells in autoimmune diseases.

TNF-α is a powerful molecule that triggers inflammation in our body.
Sometimes, it goes rogue and attacks our own tissues, causing problems like rheumatoid arthritis. That’s when we use TNF-α antagonists, medicines that block TNF-α from doing damage.

But don't jump to TNF-α antagonists when you have a bitter taste!
Though these medications combat excessive TNF-α, a bitter mouth isn't a direct call for their use. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper guidance.
