Anti-apoptotic signaling as a cytoprotective mechanism in mammalian hibernation
In the context of normal cell turnover, apoptosis COOKIES is a natural phenomenon involved in making essential life and death decisions.Apoptotic pathways balance signals which promote cell death (pro-apoptotic pathways) or counteract these signals (anti-apoptotic pathways).We proposed that changes in anti-apoptotic proteins would occur during mamm
