Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have identified a small intracellular protein that helps cells commit suicide. The finding, reported as the 'paper of the week' in the 16th January print issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, could lead to drugs for combating cancer and other diseases characterised by overproduction of cells. The research was led by the late Dennis Shields, Ph.D., a professor in Einstein's Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology for 30 years, who died unexpectedly in December...
