"MAPK Signaling: Inflammatory Cytokines Pathway" refers to a specific branch of the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway that is activated in response to inflammatory cytokines. Inflammatory cytokines are signaling molecules released by immune cells in response to infections, injuries, and other inflammatory stimuli. The MAPK pathway is a critical signaling cascade that transmits extracellular signals to the cell nucleus, regulating various cellular responses, including inflammation and immune responses.
