NF-kB DISEASES

 

              On this page are listed several diseases in which activation of NF-kB has been implicated.  For general reviews on the role of NF-kB in disease, see Aradhya & Nelson (2001), Kumar et al (2004), Yamamoto & Gaynor (2002) or Baldwin (2001).  For specific diseases see the listed references, which can be found either on this site (under References) or at PubMed (through the linked references).
