Abstract excerpt
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is not only involved in cell death but also in other immunoregulatory mechanisms. So far, the regulation of the TRAIL pathway in physiologic and pathologic conditions remains unclear. Due to the implication in brain damage and the elevated expression in peripheral immune cells of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease of the central nervous...
