RIPK2 might thus play an important role in cell migration (Wu et al., 2012), metastasis (Wu et al., 2012), and offer alternate novel therapeutics for abnormal inflammation driven by the NOD2 / RIPK2 pathway. (jpet.aspetjournals.org)
The MIT team also found no markers indicating that the electric fields caused abnormal inflammation, DNA damage, or cell death in the targeted tissue. (sciencemag.org)
These genetic discoveries reinforce earlier gene studies implicating abnormal inflammation and fat metabolism in the disease. (newscientist.com)
