Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pluripotent cytokine involved in inflammation and immune responses as well as in growth factor-dependent cell proliferation, cell cycle, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis [1], [2], [3], ...

Glucocorticoids are potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. They inhibit synthesis of almost all known cytokines, enzymes involved in the inflammatory process and several cell surface molecules required for immune function. Glucocorticoids mediate these effects via the ...

Sp1 transcription factor (SP1) is a transcription factor involved in gene expression in the early development of an organism. It belongs to the Sp/KLF family of transcription factors. The SP1 transcription factor contains a zinc finger protein motif, by which it binds directly to DNA ...
