X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) – a critical death-resistance regulator and therapeutic target for personalized cancer therapy

Defects in apoptosis regulation are one main cause of cancer development and may result from overexpression of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs). IAPs are cell death regulators that, among other functions, bind caspases and interfere with apoptotic signaling via...
