A signalling protein and the engineering that tames it: PEGylation for half-life, Fc fusion, receptor bias, an antibody to aim it at the tumour. The corpus holds 13 cytokines medicines: 9 approved, 2 in phase 3, 6 trials recruiting, 14 companies named. Every section below says which records it was read from.
From 1 record:Cytokines & engineered cytokines
Cytokine therapy gives immune-signalling proteins as drugs. High-dose interleukin-2 was the first immunotherapy to cure some melanomas, at great toxicity.
Systemic or targeted delivery of T- and NK-cell growth factors.

The manufacturing map draws every site and the seven supply chains.
No manufacturing technology record is listed for this format.
The medicines are the ones the open drug engine files under cytokines, whether it placed them on its grid or listed them as unresolved. The technology records are listed by hand (src/lib/modular-formats.ts) and each carries a pill back here. Everything else follows the graph's links from those two sets: approvals, cancers and toxicity from the medicine records; companies, trials, papers and ideas from the records that name a medicine or technology; roadmap steps from their refs; resistance from the atlas; manufacturing from the site and supply chain records.
Nothing here is written for the hub. Where the corpus holds no record for a section, the section says so rather than filling the gap, and the counts are counts of records in OnCo, not of the world. The JSON companion carries every section with the record ids behind it. Not medical advice.
