摘要
Chemokines are redundant in their action an target cells and promiscuous in receptor usage. Moreover, certain cells concomitantly produce several chemokines with an overlapping spectrum of action. Here, Alberto Mantovani argues that such robustness provides a conceptual framework to understand these intriguing aspects of the chemokine system.
