The Role of STATs in Apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are transcription factors that mediate cytokine and growth factor induced signals that culminate in various biological responses, including proliferation and differentiation. Recent studies indicate a role for STATs in apoptosis as well. Depending upon the particular stimulus or cell type, STATs can mediate either pro-apoptotic signals or anti-apoptotic...
