The mitochondrial gateway to cell death
18 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria play a key role in death signaling. The intermembrane space of these organelles contains a number of proteins which promote cell death once they are redistributed to the cytosol. The formation of pores in the outer membrane of mitochondria defines a gateway through which the apoptogenic proteins pass during death signaling.
