NF-B is a critical signaling molecule in the immune system that regulates cell survival and cell death, lymphocyte responses, and inflammation. Acting as a transcription factor that can receive several inputs, it coordinates distinct gene expression programs in response to a wide variety of stimuli.

 

Written and edited by experts in the field, this volume includes contributions covering the structure of NF-B, its DNA-binding activity and specificity, the role of the inhibitor I-B, and canonical and alternative mechanisms of NF-B activation. The contributors examine the physiological role of NF-B in immune cells, as well as its functions in other tissues, such as the nervous system. They also discuss work indicating that NF-B represents a critical link between inflammation and cancer.

 

Including clinical perspectives on the use of NF-B inhibitors in cancer therapy and a historical introduction by David Baltimore, in whose lab NF-B was discovered, this volume is a vital reference for cell and molecular biologists, immunologists, and pathologists interested in regulation of cell function.
