30 Years of NF-κB: A Blossoming of Relevance to Human Pathobiology

TL;DR: The NF-κB was discovered 30 years ago as a rapidly inducible transcription factor and has been found to have a broad role in gene induction in diverse cellular responses, particularly throughout the immune system as mentioned in this paper.

Mutations inFasAssociated withHuman Lymphoproliferative Syndrome and Autoimmunity

TL;DR: Fas expression and function were analyzed in three children with a lymphoproliferative syndrome and may provide a molecular basis for some autoimmune diseases in humans.

Classification of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death

TL;DR: This study details the 2009 recommendations of the NCCD on the use of cell death-related terminology including ‘entosis’, ‘mitotic catastrophe”,’ ‘necrosis‚ ‘necroptosis‚’ and ‘pyroptotic’.

Dominant interfering Fas gene mutations impair apoptosis in a human autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome

TL;DR: The occurrence of Fas mutations together with abnormal T cell apoptosis in ALPS patients suggests an involvement of Fas in this recently recognized disorder of lymphocyte homeostasis and peripheral self-tolerance.

Mutations in Fas associated with human lymphoproliferative syndrome and autoimmunity

TL;DR: Fas expression and function were analyzed in three children (including two siblings) with a lymphoproliferative syndrome, two of whom also had autoimmune disorders as discussed by the authors, showing that a large deletion in the gene encoding Fas and no detectable cell surface expression characterized the most affected patient.
