Once they had the right combination, the researchers designed a synthetic gene which codes for a protein that promotes apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

确认了正确的组合之后，研究人员设计了一种合成基因。它对一种能够促成细胞凋亡(一种受控的细胞死亡)的蛋白质进行编码。

Cancer cells have multiple ways to avoid apoptosis, programmed cell death the means by which organisms deal with defective cells.

肿瘤细胞通过多种途径规避凋亡，而机体主要通过这种程序性细胞死亡清除有缺陷的细胞。

A subsequent analysis of the molecule revealed it to be an inhibitor of apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

随后的分析显示它的分子是一种抑制细胞凋亡，或者细胞程序性死亡。
