Newly identified immune cell switch could control inflammation

Cornell researchers have identified a switch that regulates inflammation caused by an immune response, a finding that could one day help clinicians control inflammation-related conditions such as autoimmune, cardiovascular ...

Kinase

In chemistry and biochemistry, a kinase is a type of enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from high-energy donor molecules, such as ATP, to specific substrates, a process referred to as phosphorylation. Kinases are part of the larger family of phosphotransferases. Kinases are not to be confused with phosphorylases, which carry out phosphorolysis, the breaking of a bond using an inorganic phosphate group; or with phosphatases, which remove phosphate groups.
