摘要: The development of apoptosis resistance is a crucial step during the pathogenesis malignant tumors. Thus, any treatment approach overcoming may be valuable tool in oncology. Although variety treatments induce apoptosis, only very few specifically trigger programmed cell death. In this regard, class inducing ligands turn out to have considerable potential TNF-α-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L) most promising candidate, either alone or combination with established cancer therapies, since it induces wide range cells while sparing normal tissues.
