Answer and Explanation:

Cytokines is the molecule which has the ability to communicate with the immune system cells to target on antigen by generating a response. It is mostly comprised of protein in a group along with peptides.

They are involved in the cancer treatment by production of the signalling molecules that gets involved in the method of stimulating and mobilize the immune system and thus cytokines come into the action for preventing the cancer by providing anti-inflammatory action,anti-cancer cell etc.

A total of _____ amino acids compose the majority of protein in living things and nine are _____ to human

Evgen [1.6K]

A total of 20 amino acids compose the majority of protein in living things and nine are essential to human.

All living organisms, from bacteria to people, depend on amino acids for survival.
The same 20 types of amino acids are present in all living things.
Only 21 amino acids are required by the human body to create all the proteins required for growth and function.
Your body can create thousands of different types of proteins with only the same 21 amino acids because they can be ordered in a wide variety of ways.
The body is unable to produce essential amino acids. They must therefore originate from food.
Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine are the nine essential amino acids.

A hospital can demonstrate inclusivity by community engagement through:

astraxan [27]

We knew hospitals as places where people get treatment. We hardly imagine hospitals doing outreach to the community outreach nowadays. Community outreach may improve patient outcomes, which is crucial for the hospital to have access to payer’s reimbursements. One good example is giving outreach to churches, since these institutions often have older and often sicker, individuals. The hospital may directly engage with the church and give health education and smooth transition from hospital to home. The hospital may also embrace social media, or use Twitter to data-mine flu outbreaks in the community.
