Mast Cells and Cytokines: The Inflammatory Signaling Picture
Mast cells cytokines work both ways: mast cells release TNF and IL-6 and respond to them. What a broad inflammation panel can and cannot measure.
POTS Symptoms and the Inflammation Connection
POTS symptoms like a racing heart, dizziness, and brain fog on standing, and the researched links to immune activation, framed as association not proof.
Cytokine Panel Testing Explained: Reading the Immune System's Signals
A cytokine panel test measures many immune signals at once. Why a resolved immune profile beats testing one marker at a time.
hs-CRP Testing: What High-Sensitivity CRP Can and Cannot Tell You
A hs-CRP test measures one downstream protein driven by the IL-1 beta to IL-6 axis. What high-sensitivity CRP captures and what it misses.
Dysautonomia and Chronic Inflammation: What the Research Says
Dysautonomia is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. What research says about its causes and the studied links to chronic inflammation.
The Type I Interferon Signature: An Immune Pattern Behind Post-Viral Illness
The interferon signature in long COVID: what the type 1 interferon signature is, its history in lupus, and its relevance to post-viral illness.
Inflammation, Fatigue, Pain, and Brain Fog: How Immune Signals Connect
Inflammation and fatigue are linked through sickness behavior. How cytokines like IL-6 and TNF relate to fatigue, pain, and brain fog in research.
ME/CFS and the Immune System: Why Symptoms Track Inflammation
ME/CFS and the immune system are linked in research: cytokines like IL-6, TNF, and IFN-gamma track severity, but no diagnostic biomarker exists yet.
The Inflammation Biology of Long COVID: What the Research Shows
The biomarkers for long COVID point to a dysregulated immune system: interferon signaling, CXCL10, IL-6, TNF. What the research actually shows.
What Is Proteomics Testing? The Technology Behind Mune Mirror
A proteomics test measures many proteins at once. Why ultra-sensitive assays quantify cytokines routine tests miss, and why a healthy benchmark matters.
IL-6, TNF, and CRP: The Inflammation Markers Worth Understanding
What causes high inflammation markers: how the IL-1 beta to IL-6 to CRP axis works, and why CRP is downstream of the cytokines that drive it.
Markers of Inflammation: What Each One Signals
A plain-language guide to markers of inflammation: what CRP, IL-6, TNF, IL-1 beta, IL-10, IFN-gamma, CXCL10, GDF15, and more each signal in your blood.
What Are Inflammation Markers? A Plain-Language Guide
What are inflammation markers? CRP is one downstream number, but real inflammation is a network of signaling proteins like IL-6, TNF, and IL-1 beta.
