Molecular 'self-destruct' switch discovered: How stressed cells decide between survival and death
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have discovered a molecular switch that determines whether stressed human cells survive or undergo programmed death. This finding, published in Redox Biology, may aid in developing strategies to overcome chemotherapy resistance in aggressive tumors.
