A new article in Nature Chemical Biology (Garner et al. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41589-018-0223-0) reports small molecules that inhibit the conformational activation of BAX, informing a pharmacologic approach to blocking unwanted cell death in human disease %U https://www.cell.com/trends/molecular-medicine/fulltext/S1471-4914(19)30043-7
