Aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1; also known as IRG-1) is the ubiquitous source of the metabolite itaconate, which dampens inflammasome activation by preventing HIF1α production of IL-1β and prevents TNF production through NRF2 activation…
The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves crosstalk between genetic and microbial factors that influence immune reactions. Tofacitinib, a pan JAK-STAT inhibitor, is a small molecule indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC)…
