(Helmholtz Zentrum München – German Research Center for Environmental Health) The Fas protein can either inhibit or promote the controlled cell death (apoptosis), depending on the isoform in which it occurs.

These results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of tumor diseases and have now been published in eLife.
