    GlossaryB-cell lymphoma 2

    protein that inhibits cell death, often overexpressed in cancers

    B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) is a protein that helps regulate cell death (apoptosis) by inhibiting the process, allowing cells to survive longer than they should. This protein is often overexpressed in certain types of cancer, such as lymphomas, making it a target for cancer therapies aimed at restoring the normal process of cell death.
