NCLX prevents cell death during adrenergic activation of the brown adipose tissue

Brown adipose tissue activation of thermogenesis is accompanied by a sequence of events commonly associated with apoptosis, however they evade cell death. Assali et al. show that NCLX prevents mitochondrial calcium overload and apoptosis. Deletion of NCLX, converts a thermogenic signal into a death...
