The Link Between Inflammation and Cancer

Description:

The transcription factor NF-kB has long been known to play a central role in the immune system by regulating the expression of key genes. Moreover, activation of this transcription factor helps a wide variety of cell types survive damage induced by pro-apoptotic stimuli. The link between inflammation and cancer is of crucial importance for the design of novel strategies for cancer treatment.
