Cathepsin B increases apoptosis in fulminant hepatic failure
The traditional view is that hepatocyte necrosis is the main feature of fulminant hepatic failure, but increasing evidence implicates a dominant role for hepatocyte apoptosis in this pathogenesis. It is not known if cathepsin B-mediated hepatocyte apoptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of fulmi...FASgen Diagnostic Tests Identify Ovarian Cancer Progression and Apoptosis
BALTIMORE, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- FASgen Diagnostics, LLC is pleased to report that results of studies using the Company's FAS-detect(TM) IHC and FAS- detect(TM) ELISA research tests were the subject of an address to Society of Gynecologic Oncologists annual meeting last week in Tampa, Flori...A Combination Of Drugs Used For Anti-Angiogenesis And Apoptosis More Effective
Imantanib is a drug which prevents the growth of new blood vessels, thereby inhibiting the growth of tumour(anti-angiogenesis). //It has been discovered that using Imantanib (Glivec [1]) and a drug that induces cell death (apoptosis) works better. It was found that the combination was more effectiv...Citrinin, a fungal toxin, induces apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway
The Mycotoxin citrinin (CTN) is a secondary metabolite produced by several fungal species that belong mainly to the genus Penicillium and Monascus. It is widely considered as a hazard contaminant of foods// and feeds, including corn, wheat, rice, barley and nuts, and is known to be cytotoxic and ge...Bayer Announces New Data on Novel Anti-cancer Compound BAY 73-4506
...ys, including VEGFR and TIE2. BAY 73-4506 has also been shown in preclinical studies to prevent the proliferation of tumor cell lines while promoting apoptosis (cell death) by directly targeting several oncogenic TK receptors.

A study by Nanyang Technological University (NTU)'s Assistant Professor Li Hoi Yeung, Assistant Professor Koh Cheng Gee and their team have made an important contribution to the understanding of the process that cells go through when they die. This process known as 'apoptosis' or programmed cell d...Novel structure proteins could play a role in apoptosis
Isoforms from Novel Structure Proteins (NSP), a new family of genes discovered by researchers in the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine in Temple University's College of Science and Technology, could be involved in apoptosis or programmed cell death. NSPs were discove...Researchers use RNAi libraries to identify regulators of apoptosis and chemoresistance
When it comes to the deadly skin cancer melanoma, studying functional tissue rather than cell lines may better provide insight into the disease's development, according to new research from a Howard Hughes Medical Institute predoctoral fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine. Though mult...Protein that promotes cancer cell growth identified
...r of cell death proteins are missing from human tumors, allowing cancer cells to ignore the cues that keep their growth in check. Cells that can evade apoptosis have a clear growth advantage. Because Caspase-8 is involved in programmed cell death, it would seem that reducing Caspase-8 in cancer cells would pro...How mitochondria get their membranes bent
...rage of molecules. Cytochrome c, for example, an important signaling protein in programmed cell death (apoptosis), is stored in this compartment. When apoptosis is triggered, the pores enlarge and cytochrome c is released into the cytosol. Thus, understanding of how the pore diameter and the shape of the inner...Cancer: The cost of being smarter than chimps?
