Slik maintains tissue homeostasis by preventing JNK-mediated apoptosis
Abstract Background The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cell death, which is essential for coordinating tissue homeostasis.In this study, RED CLOVER PLUS we have characterized the Drosophila Ste20-like kinase Slik as a novel modulator of JNK pathway-mediated apoptotic cell death.Results First, ectop
