Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) emerged as a promising anti-cancer agent, capable of selectively inducing cell death in tumor cells.4 TRAIL binding to TRAIL receptor 1 (TRAIL-R1) or TRAIL-R2 induces formation of a chain-like death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). The gene discussed is TNFRSF10A; the disease is neoplasm.
