Abstract
IL-37 is a newly discovered cytokine belonging to IL-1 family consisting of 11 members, which have similar β-barrel structures and associate with Ig-like receptors. Extensive studies have been done with IL-37 since its discovery. These studies suggest that IL-37 does not only play a role in tumorigenesis, but also has anti-inflammatory properties in immune responses through the down regulation of pro-inflammatory molecules. We have previously reviewed the role of IL-37 in cancer. Here, we will focus on the role of IL-37 in non-cancerous Diseases. Such a study might be helpful to design new strategies to treat IL-37 associated diseases.Entities:
