Sphingolipids in Apoptosis
Forty years ago, the term “apoptosis” was introduced to describe a form of programmed cell death. Key players that mediate apoptosis at the molecular level such as caspases, death receptors, Bcl-2 family members have since been identified and their regulation remains a research focus of many laborat...
