Abstract excerpt
In a variety of cell types, the transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) functions as a mediator of stress and immune responses. In endothelial cells (ECs), it controls the expression of genes encoding, eg, cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, and procoagulatory proteins. This study investigates the effect of NF-kappaB suppression on several pathophysiologic functions of ECs, including inflammation,...
