Surviving Apoptosis: Life-death Signaling in Single Cells

Flusberg DA, Sorger PK. Surviving Apoptosis: Life-death Signaling in Single Cells. Trends in cell biology. 2015. Epub 2015/04/30. doi: 10.1016/j.tcb.2015.03.003. PMID: 25920803; PMCID: PMC4570028. Abstract

Tissue development and homeostasis are regulated by opposing pro-survival and pro-death signals. An interesting feature of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) family of ligands is that they simultaneously activate opposing […]
