| Abstract | Interleukin (IL)‐7 is a potent immunoregulatory cytokine that is detected in joints of patients with rheumatoid and juvenile idiopathic arthritis and which correlates with parameters of disease. Several synovial cell types that play an important role in inflammation and immunopathology, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and fibroblasts, produce IL‐7. IL‐7 induces cytokines produced by arthritogenic T cells (for example, interferon γ (IFNγ), IL‐17), T cell differentiating factors (for example, IL‐12), chemokines capable of attracting inflammatory cells (for example, macrophage induced gene (MIG), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)‐1α) as well as molecules involved in cell adhesion, migration, and costimulation (for example, lymphocyte function associated antigen (LFA)‐1, CD40, CD80). In addition, IL‐7 can induce bone loss by stimulating osteoclastogenesis that is dependent on receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL). IL‐7 induces tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) secretion by T cells and by monocytes after T cell dependent monocyte/macrophage activation. Importantly, induction of both IL‐7 and IL‐7 induced effects seems to be able to operate independent of TNFα. Together this suggests that IL‐7 is an important cytokine in several rheumatic conditions, capable of inducing inflammation and immunopathology. Thus it may be an important target for immunotherapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
