Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Various forms of cell death, such as apoptotic, autophagic and non-lysosomal types, are implicated in normal physiological processes. Apoptotic protease activating factor 1 (Apaf1) is an important component of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Deficiency of Apaf1 results in an accumulation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the developing central nervous system and thus, in perinatal lethality. A...
