## Background: Interleukin-18 (il-18) is increased in the inflamed mucosa of patients with crohn's disease (cd). the balance between this pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine and its natural inhibitor, il-18-binding protein (il-18bp), may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease
## Abstract Epithelial cells play a critical role in periodontal disease through the secretion of pro‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and interleukin‐18 (IL‐18). However, the role played by fibroblasts is still unclear. The rationale of this study was to throw light on the rol
