    Loss of immunity-related GTPase GM4951 leads to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease without obesity

    Obesity and diabetes are well known risk factors for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the genetic factors contributing to the development of NAFLD remain poorly understood. Here we describe two se...

    N4BP1 negatively regulates NF-κB by binding and inhibiting NEMO oligomerization

    Many immune responses depend upon activation of NF-κB, an important transcription factor in the elicitation of a cytokine response. Here we show that N4BP1 inhibits TLR-dependent activation of NF-κB by interac...
