A matter of life and death: cardiac myocyte apoptosis and regeneration

Abstract excerpt

It is also important to note that the proapoptotic Vpr protein is not the only viral mitochondrion-targeted protein to be identified as a virulence factor (9).It will be interesting to learn which other viruses produce similar mitochondrion-targeted, apoptosisregulatory, disease-relevant proteins, all of which could constitute promising pharmacological targets.
