Scientific Background | Thalidomide binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex involving CRBN, DDB1, and Cul4A, inhibiting ligase activity. It suppresses TNF synthesis and angiogenesis. In neuroscience, Thalidomide is explored for its immunomodulatory effects and potential to modulate neuroinflammation and neurovascular integrity, although caution is warranted due to its teratogenic properties. |
