Obligate intracellular Chlamydia secrete a deubiquitinating enzyme (Cdu1) into the membrane of the Chlamydia-containing vacuole to deubiquitinate selected host proteins and support the survival of the bacteria during genital infection.

Epstein-Barr virus hijacks host anti-apoptotic machinery to ensure survival during latent infection.

Short peptides that bind tightly to anti-apoptotic protein Bfl-1 but not other Bcl-2 family members provide a tool for diagnosing cancer cell survival mechanisms and a lead for developing new therapeutics.

A multi-transcriptional CDKs inhibitor suppresses MYC and induces regression of ovarian tumors, indicating that targeting CDK7, 12, 13 with THZ1 may be an effective approach for treating MYC-dependent malignancies.

During ES cell differentiation, Yap1 directly regulates apoptosis-related genes like Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 to attenuate apoptosis and promote cell survival to allow for successful cell fate changes.

An integrative approach, combining genetic mouse and large-scale human genetics studies, was used to reveal a novel role for the Bcl-2 protein Bid in maintenance of mitochondrial function that alters susceptibility to myocardial infarction.

A newly developed computational framework provides an overview of the extent, diversity, and relevance of the genes of unknown function in genomes and metagenomes.

A second anti-apoptotic protein binding site in PUMA confers resistance to BH3 mimetic drugs and binds the protein to membranes.

The expression of DECTIN-2 family C-type lectin receptors on macrophages and monocytes is inhibited by the Th2 cytokine IL-4, which suggests a mechanism for inhibition of Th17 responses to MINCLE-dependent vaccination responses by underlying helminth infection.

The C-terminal membrane binding domain of Bim is shown to interact with and activate Bim enabling it to kill cells not dependent on anti-apoptotic proteins for survival.
