Deskripsi

Mitochondrial dynamics regulate critical processes. Here the authors show that genes regulating mitochondrial dynamics are frequently amplified in human cancers, and that these alterations are associated with changes in drug sensitivity including increased sensitivity to the apoptosis-targeting Smac mimetics.
