Core Tip Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is a central transcription factor linking peripheral immune dysregulation to neuroinflammation in psychiatric disorders. It exerts cell-type-specific effects on microglia, astrocytes, and neurons, interacting with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 pathways. Targeting NF-κB and its regulators offers promising therapeutic potential for personalized psychiatry.
