BAX knockout mice

BAX knockout mice are genetically modified animals in which the BAX gene, responsible for promoting cell death (apoptosis), has been disabled or removed. This allows scientists to study how the absence of BAX affects cell survival and disease processes, such as neurodegeneration or cancer. By observing these mice, researchers can better understand the role of BAX in normal biology and in pathological conditions, which may lead to new therapeutic strategies for diseases involving cell death regulation.
