Abstract

Cytokines are proteins important in cell‐cell signalling. They are involved in many physiological processes such as ovulation, menstruation and pregnancy. Equally, they play an important role in conditions such as preterm labour, pre‐eclampsia, endometriosis and adhesion formation and reformation. Research into cytokines in normal reproductive processes as well as diseases is of paramount importance as the potential health and therapeutic benefits are large.
