Shedding Light On Inflammatory Disease

Shedding Light On Inflammatory Disease

Scientists have found that understanding the precise timing of communication between cells that coordinate the body's response to disease could be key to new drug developments.

Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found that understanding the precise timing of communication between cells that coordinate the body's response to disease could be key to new drug developments.

Researchers, in collaboration with AstraZeneca and the Universities of Manchester and Warwick, are investigating the NF-kappa-B signalling system, which governs the responses within cells to stimuli such as stress and infection. It plays a central role in conditions such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.
