This: Illustration shows a hand with signs of inflammation, notably redness and swelling. The background features abstract symbols representing cytokines and inflammatory cells involved in the inflammatory response. On one side of the image, a shield symbolizes cytokine blockers. This shield is intercepting the cytokines to illustrate the concept of reducing inflammation. Artist: Ben Afzali in collaboration with DALL-E 3
Depiction of a central immune cell producing cytokines that radiate outwards. The cell is in the center, with a smooth surface, and is surrounded by a variety of other immune cells. The composition is split into two halves. The left half features warm hues like reds, oranges, and yellows to symbolize the beneficial, healing, and protective roles of cytokines. The right half is in cool hues such as blues and purples, suggesting the potential harm and negative effects of cytokines. The cytokines are depicted as abstract forms, and there are abstract arrows within the scene indicating the movement and influence of the cytokines on the surrounding cells.
