The findings suggest that a better understanding of how the protein, TAK1, works could lead to new insights into the development of liver disease and cancer. “TAK1 appears to be a master regulator of liver function,” said David A. Brenner, MD, professor of medicine and Dean of the UC San Diego School of Medicine. He and Ekihiro Seki, MD, PhD, assistant research scientist in the Department of Medicine, led the work. “Understanding its role in liver disease and cancer may eventually enable us to devise new therapeutic strategies.” Their study appears on line the week of December 14 in advance of publication in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences….
