Myasthenia gravis induces the activation and maturation of lymphocytes in thymoma.

abstract：:The Bcl-2 family of proteins are important regulators of cell death. They are comprised of two opposing factions, the proapoptotic versus the antiapoptotic members. Both are required for normal development and cellular homeostasis of the immune system and other tissues. However, in certain circumstances they may parti...
