概括
这项研究使用了门德尔的随机化来研究炎症性细胞因子和三角神经疼痛 (TN) 之间的联系. 某些细胞因子,如CTACK和IFN- (MIG),可能会增加TN风险,而其他细胞因子,如IL-16和IFN-G,可能会降低TN风险.
科学领域:
- 遗传学 遗传学 是一个
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway
8.5K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway
7.2K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.
