Studying NF-κB signaling with mathematical models.

Mathematical modeling of NF-κB signaling can be employed to understand how the network of molecular interactions leads to signaling phenomena observed experimentally. Model construction is a challenging process; however, existing models can be utilized and can provide a great deal of insight quickly and inexpensively. The simulation of various inputs and the identification of potential therapeutic targets using the mathematical model are detailed here.
