Cytokines in Liver Health and Diseaseal processes in and around the cells that produce them. They may act on different cell types (pleiotropic effects) and have overlapping effects (redundancy); furthermore, their action may be local or systemic. In most tissues, including the liver, constitutive production of cytokines is absent or mi

Autoantibodies have been described that target membrane-bound proteins of the cell and nuclear membranes and that reside in the cytoplasm or in other organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum (Table 1) or mitochondria (Table
