The role of FADD protein in cell death

Based on the presumption that FADD protein (Fas-Associated protein with Death Domain) intermediates apoptotic, necroptotic and autophagic signals after exposure to NB-UVB (Narrowband Ultraviolet B) irradiation, we tested its role of death adaptor using FADD knockout mouse embrionic fibroblasts. The results show that wild type mouse embryonic fibroblast die by triggering apoptotic death signals thr…
