Binding of nuclear factor kappa B to noncanonical consensus sites reveals its multimodal role during the early inflammatory response
(2016)Mammalian cells have developed intricate mechanisms to interpret, integrate, and respond to extracellular stimuli. For example, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) rapidly activates proinflammatory genes, but our understanding of ... -
