Bax and Bak have critical roles in ischemic acute kidney injury in global and proximal tubule-specific knockout mouse models

Bax and Bak, two pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, have been implicated in acute kidney injury following renal ischemia/reperfusion; however, definitive evidence for a role of these genes in the disease process is lacking. Here we first examined two Bax-deficient mouse models and found that only...
