Excerpt

Apoptosis, the evolutionarily conserved mechanismfor eliminating unwanted cells, is essential in multicellular organisms for normal development, tissue homeostasis, and defense against pathogens (Jacobson et al. 1997;Vaux and Korsmeyer 1999). The control of apoptosis isof considerable relevance to most biological systems, andabnormalities in its regulation can lead to cancer, autoimmunity, or degenerative disorders (Thompson 1995;O'Reilly and Strasser 1997; Strasser et al. 1997)...
