Abstract
The present invention relates to preventing or delaying programmed cell death by expressing one or more anti-apoptotic polypeptides in a cell such that programmed cell death in the cell is prevented or delayed. The present invention also relates to increasing production of a cell-related product by expressing one or more anti-apoptotic polypeptides in a cell such that production of the cell-related product by the cell is increased. Recombinant cells useful for producing cell-related product or cellular therapy are also provided.
