Researchers at the Universities of T\u00fcbingen and Konstanz, the Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum, the Max Planck Institute of Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, and the German Cancer Research Centers have worked together to gain new insights into a protein network which regulates the programmed break down of cells, also known as apoptosis.
