Abstract: Like a governor giving a pardon, the molecule NF-{kappa}B spares cells condemned to death. New research reveals that the protein delivers its stay of execution by enlisting an iron-absorbing protein, which short-circuits a death-promoting pathway. The work could help researchers devise better treatments for conditions in which cells ignore suicide directives, including cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
