Mathematical Modeling Identifies Inhibitors of Apoptosis as Mediators of Positive Feedback and Bistability

The intrinsic, or mitochondrial, pathway of caspase activation is essential for apoptosis induction by various stimuli including cytotoxic stress. It depends on the cellular context, whether cytochrome c released from mitochondria induces caspase activation gradually or in an all-or-none fashion, an...
