17.04.2019The effectiveness of Bax-beta on the mechanism of apoptosis is 100 times higher than this indicator for the related Bax-alfa and even contribute to the activation of its counterpart. Scientists have high hopes for the development of new drugs for the treatment of cancer that will selectively activate Bax-beta or stimulate its interaction with Bax-alfa.
