Canonical vs. Non-Canonical Signaling: TNF Superfamily Members Activate Non-Canonical NF-κB Signaling
When you think of cell signaling, it’s tempting to imagine a single, straight road—but NF-κB runs two. The canonical pathway fires fast to tackle stress and infection, while the non-canonical route, driven by NIK, works more slowly and selectively, shaping immune and developmental responses. TNF superfamily members are the keys…
