El polimorfismo genético del factor de necrosis tumoral alfa como factor de riesgo en patología
Cytokine unbalance is responsible for the pathogenesis of diverse inflammatory, autoimmune and infectious diseases, and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNFalpha), among other cytokines, plays a central role. TNFalpha production can be regulated at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translat...
