What Are the Therapeutic Implications of Targeting p38 MAPK in Toxicology?
Targeting p38 MAPK in toxicology has therapeutic potential in treating diseases where inflammation and stress responses play a pivotal role. For example, in chemical-induced liver injury, inhibition of p38 MAPK could reduce liver inflammation and fibrosis. Additionally, in neurodegenerative diseases triggered or exacerbated by environmental toxins, modulating p38 MAPK activity may protect neuronal cells from apoptosis and inflammatory damage.
