The role of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member bim in physiological cell death.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Bim gene is disrupted in the mouse and plays a major and non‐redundant role in embryogenesis, in the control of hematopoietic cell death, and as a barrier against autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apaf-1 and caspase-9 are required for cytokine withdrawal-induced apoptosis of mast cells but dispensable for their functional and clonogenic death.

TL;DR: It is reported that mast cells lacking caspase-9 or Apaf-1 are refractory to apoptosis after cytotoxic insults but still lose effector function and ability to proliferate, indicating that the Apf-1/caspases-9-independent apoptotic pathway observed in lymphocytes is ineffective in cytokine-deprived mast cells.
