Deskripsi

In biological systems, timing is often critical to the interpretation of signals that determine cell fate. Here the authors demonstrate how single cells and cellular populations respond dynamically to pulsatile stimulation by TNFα and IL-1β, and suggest a mechanism by which the two cytokines can synergistically modulate inflammation.
