Tumour-selective apoptosis : identification of NMHCIIa as novel death receptor interactor regulating the response to TRAIL

The cytokine TRAIL is a promising cancer therapeutic candidate as it induces apoptosis selectively in transformed cells. TRAIL-induced clustering of its receptors (DR) is essential for the DISC complex formation, which induces cell death. The mechanism for TRAIL's tumour selective effect is lar...
