The immune system relies on precise molecular communication to detect and eliminate pathogens. Among the most critical components of this communication network are interferons (IFNs), signaling proteins that regulate immune responses. Central to their function are IFN receptors, which act as gatekeepers, controlling how cells respond to interferons and orchestrating the body’s...

The immune system relies on a complex network of molecules to detect and respond to infections, tumors, and other threats. Among these molecules, interferons play a central role in coordinating immune defense. Interferon signaling refers to the molecular processes by which interferons communicate with cells, triggering responses that protect the body and regulate immunity....
