Research Abstract |
Cell death is one of the most important systems for the maintenance of multicellular organisms. In this study, we performed the development and mechanistic study of cell death control molecules, i.e., inhibitors or inducers of cell death. As a result, we obtained some cell death inducers having unique cell death inducing properties. By using these compounds and modified probes, we determined some binding proteins as potent candidates of target molecules.
