Deskripsi

Apoptosis often requires mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, a process targeted by Bcl-2-binding BH3 mimetics. Here the authors describe and apply 'mito-priming', a method that allows triggering mitochondrial apoptosis in a synchronous manner, facilitating the investigation of mitochondrial apoptosis and its regulation by Bcl-2 proteins.
