Key protein molecule linked to diverse human chronic inflammator...

(Virginia Tech) Liwu Li, associate professor of biological sciences at Virginia Tech, has revealed a common connection between the cellular innate immunity network and human chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The finding presents a viable cellular and molecular target for the diagnosis and treatment of serious human inflammatory diseases, according to Li.
