Summary
Signals from growth factors such as cytokines and hormones are required for cell survival. In their absence cells activate an in-built self-destruct process. Determining how cytokines regulate cell death will provide novel targets so that unwanted cells (like cancer cells) can be triggered to die and needed cells (such as brain cells) can survive.
