Abstract
BCL-2 homologues lie at the interface between apoptosis and autophagy, regulating these two critical cellular pathways. However, the mechanisms controlling their coordinate regulation and the consequences on cellular survival are not fully understood. We recently showed that MCL-1 is a critical regulator of autophagy in cell lines and neurons. Our findings indicate that activation of apoptosis and autophagy is controlled in a developmentally regulated manner. In addition, the fact that MCL-1 null neurons die in an autophagy-dependent manner suggests that while a basal level of autophagy is required for neuronal survival, its sustained activation may be detrimental. This could have major implications for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases using strategies involving activation of autophagy to clear protein aggregates from the brain.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
