Although NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) was discovered less than 25 years ago, it is one of the most well-studied transcription factors. It plays critical roles in various immune and cellular processes, and its dysregulation is a major driver of cancer and inflammatory pathology. A new book published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NF-kappaB: A Network Hub Controlling Immunity, Inflammation, and Cancer, provides a series of excellent reviews on the architecture, regulation, and pathophysiological roles of NF-kappaB signaling by some of the leading investigators in the field.
尽管核因子 kappaB(NF-κB)是在不到 25 年前被发现的,但它是研究最为透彻的转录因子之一。它在各种免疫和细胞过程中发挥着关键作用,其失调是癌症和炎症病理的主要驱动因素。冷泉港实验室出版社出版的一本新书《NF-κB:控制免疫、炎症和癌症的网络枢纽》,由该领域的一些顶尖研究人员对 NF-κB 信号的结构、调控和病理生理学作用进行了一系列精彩的综述。
