Popis: Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity affects cell survival and determines the sensitivity of cancer cells to cytotoxic agents as well as to ionizing radiation. Preventing the protective function of NF-kappaB may result in chemo- and radio-sensitization of cancer cells. Therefore, NF-kappaB has emerged as one of the most promising molecular targets in rational drug design efforts of translational cancer research programs.
