Citando:
"Lead author of the study, Dr Stephen Tait, said: "We have developed a new way to make any cell type sensitive to BH3-mimetic treatment. We term this method mito-priming.
"Mito-priming can be used to rapidly screen for new BH3-mimetics and other anti-cancer drugs, and should improve ways to kill cancer cells. It can also be used to rapidly define the potency and specificity of BH3-mimetics."
