March 2024 in “Signal transduction and targeted therapy” In this review, researchers explored the multifaceted role of NF-κB signaling in various biological processes and diseases, including its interactions with other pathways, and discussed possible therapeutic approaches targeting this pathway for treating conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and COVID-19.
November 2023 in “Nature Communications” This study reported that depleting the pro-apoptotic protein Bax in hair follicle stem cells enables these cells to kill nearby viable cells by sequestering TNFα, which increases the stem cell pool and accelerates tissue regeneration, suggesting potential implications for therapies targeting tissue repair and cancer.
