Molecular 'self-destruct' switch discovered: How stressed cells decide between survival and death
A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has identified a molecular switch that controls whether stressed human cells activate a survival mechanism or trigger programmed cell death (apoptosis).
AI Summary
A study from Ben‑Gurion University of the Negev identified a molecular switch that determines whether stressed human cells activate a survival mechanism or initiate programmed cell death (apoptosis). The research, published in *Redox Biology*, shows how this switch balances cell fate under stress. Findings may offer new strategies to overcome chemotherapy resistance in aggressive tumors. The work was led by Dr. [Name not provided].
