Brief description Apoptosis is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for killing unwanted cells that are no longer needed, damaged, infected with pathogens or dangerous. Defects in apoptosis can cause a number of diseases. For example, abnormal survival of cells can cause cancer or autoimmune disease. Bim is a protein that induces apoptosis and act as a barrier against cancer and autoimmune diseases. This work is aimed at understanding how Bim acts as a barrier against the development of autoimmunity.
