[HTML][HTML] Fascination with bacteria-triggered cell death: the significance of Fas-mediated apoptosis during bacterial infection in vivo
RJ Menaker, NL Jones - Microbes and infection, 2003 - Elsevier
Increasing evidence indicates that bacterial pathogens have developed mechanisms to
modulate the apoptotic signaling cascade of host cells and thereby cause disease. The Fas
death receptor pathway is one of the most extensively investigated apoptotic signaling
pathways. In this review we discuss the role of Fas signaling during the interplay between
bacterial pathogens and the host in vivo.
