IL1B and cancer: IL-1 family members are involved in both innate and adaptive immune responses and were proven to be related to inflammation, autoimmunity, cardiovascular disorders and cancer.32 The IL-1 family is composed of 11 molecules and 10 associated receptors.32 The binding between ligands and dimeric receptors recruits the adaptor protein myeloid differentiation factor-88 (Myd88) through a shared intracellular signalling domain named the Toll-IL-1 resistance (TIR) domain.
