Thompson elucidated processes that shape lymphocyte development and immune system homeostasis. He demonstrated that Bcl-2 family members regulate intracellular membrane integrity, and also discovered the Bcl-2-related gene Bcl-x, establishing that this gene family has pro-apoptotic, as well as anti-apoptotic, members. |
