An inside look at a molecular switch that triggers inflammation
The Brief
- Researchers at VIB and Ghent University identified how an important driver of inflammation is activated at the molecular level.
- The findings were published in Science Immunology.
- The study also explains how a medicine used to treat a severe form of psoriasis blocks this inflammatory process.
Why it matters
The work clarifies a molecular mechanism behind inflammation and how an existing psoriasis treatment acts on it, which can inform understanding of inflammatory disease and drug action.
