TRIM25: A Global Player of Cell Death Pathways and Promising Target of Tumor-Sensitizing Therapies by Wolfgang Eberhardt, Usman Nasrullah, Josef Pfeilschifter

“…., acquired by random mutations, cancer cells typically escape from certain treatments (“acquired resistance”) by a large variety of means, including suppression of apoptosis and other cell death pathways via upregulation of anti-apoptotic factors or through inhibition of tumor-suppressive proteins. Therefore, ideally, the tumor-cell-restricted induction of apoptosis is still considered a promising avenue for the development of novel, tumor (re)sensitizing therapies. …”
