History of apoptosis research in cancer
In this section, you will learn more about the research that, for the past 20 years, has explored the potential role of apoptosis in cancer. These scientific efforts led to the discovery of multiple receptors and apoptotic pathways, eventually resulting in the identification of new targets for antitumor agents. Throughout this time, scientists at Genentech have made noteworthy contributions to the understanding of apoptosis and the investigation and development of novel therapeutic approaches to the treatment of cancer.
