Deskripsi

Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) regulates immunity and inflammation but the mechanisms by which GR represses proinflammatory genes are still being debated. Here the authors use a multidisciplinary approach and show that GR binds to a cryptic site within genome-wide NFκB DNA response elements to repress pro-inflammatory genes.
