In naturally occurring mutant mice but also in mice genetically modified for the study of other
organs, relatively often a spermatogenic arrest is seen. In a number of cases the arrests …

Members of the Bcl-2 family serve as central checkpoints for cell death regulation, and
overexpression of Bcl-2 is known to inhibit apoptosis in many cell types. To determine …

We report the isolation of b&x, a b&2-related gene that can function as a bcl-24ndependent
regulator of programed ceil death (apoptosis). Alternative splicing results in two distinct b&x …

Apoptosis has been shown to be an important regulator of endometrium function. To study
the regulation of apoptosis in the endometrium during the normal menstrual cycle, the …

The frequency of bcl-2 protein expression was evaluated using immunocytochemical
staining during the progression of human and rat prostate cancer from an androgen …

In the mouse, opening of the vaginal cavity to the skin is a late event, occurring around the
fifth week of life; it can be induced in sexually immature mice by β-estradiol injections. We …

Normal (nonneoplastic) human prostatic secretory epithelial cells do not express the bcl-2
protein. However, a recent immunohistochemical survey of neoplastic human prostate …

To investigate the relationship between apoptosis and the Bcl-2/Bax system in the human
corpus luteum (CL), the frequency of apoptosis and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were …

Studies of apoptosis in C. elegans have allowed the identification of three genes, ced-3, ced-
4 and ced-9. Their products constitute the components of an induction pathway of apoptosis …
