Brief description In cancer cells the normal process of cell death (called apoptosis) is defective, helping abnormal cells to grow and multiply unchecked. The Bak protein is a member of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis regulators, and plays a pivotal role in mediating cell death. By defining each step in Bak-mediated apoptosis, we aim to better understand how cancer cells accumulate, and how targeting the Bcl-2 family may lead to effective anti-cancer therapeutics.
