B cell lymphoma gene-2 (Bcl-2) is the prototypic member of a growing family of proteins that play evolutionarily conserved, key regulatory roles in apoptosis. The Bcl-2 family members are characterized by the presence of one or more Bcl-2 homology domains and are comprised of both the prosurvival an

## Abstract Bclβ2 family members are the arbiters of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, which is conserved through evolution. The stoichiometry of proβ versus antiapoptotic Bclβ2 family members in the cell determines whether the cell lives or dies. This fine balance is regulated at the transcriptiona
## Abstract Cytotoxic chemotherapies are standard of care for patients suffering from advanced nonβsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, objective responses are only achieved in 20% of cases and longβterm survival is rarely observed. Clinically applied anticancer drugs exert at least some of the
