title: Cross talk of signaling and apoptotic cascades in the CNS: target for virus modulation.
abstract: Signaling cascades that regulate proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis determine cell life and death decisions. All are targets of virus modulation. These cascades are briefly described in this review, underscoring cross talk and the integration of distinct signals that contribute to central nervous system (CNS) disease.
