Transcriptional and epigenetic control of T helper cell specification: molecular mechanisms underlying commitment and plasticity.

abstract：:The transcription factor NF-kappa B, more than a decade after its discovery, remains an exciting and active area of study. The involvement of NF-kappa B in the expression of numerous cytokines and adhesion molecules has supported its role as an evolutionarily conserved coordinating element in the organism's response t...
