pathway elicits a microbicidal response via a conserved p38/PMK-1 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) that is critical for host resistance against bacterial infection. Dr Aballay’s research suggests that dopamine, a signalling molecule in the nervous system, inhibits the p38/PMK-1 MAPK pathway.
