The Proapoptotic Gene <i>Bad</i> Regulates Brain Development via p53-Mediated Stress Signals in Zebrafish

Studies have shown that the BH3-only domain Bad regulates brain development via the control of programmed cell death (PCD), but very few studies have addressed its effect on the molecular signaling of brain development in the system. In this work, we examined the novel role of zebrafish <i>Bad...
