The Oncologist, 1999 Mechanisms in Hematology is a book with an accompanying interactive CD-ROM designed to assemble basic concepts that underlie clinical understanding and progress. It is presented as a concise text with a series of diagrams that distill diffuse information into a compact form.

Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins and apoptosis [PDF]
Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2008 Apoptosis is a physiological cell death process that plays a critical role in development, homeostasis, and immune defense of multicellular animals. Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) constitute a family of proteins that possess between one and three baculovirus IAP repeats.

Academic Emergency Medicine, 1998 Abstract. Apoptosis is a process of cell suicide, the mechanisms of which are encoded in the genomes of all higher eukaryotes. The mechanisms involved in apoptosis suggest that the process is based on a viral defense originally developed in primitive multicelled eukaryotes and that the fundamental execution platform of the process involves 1 ...

Introduction to Apoptosis [PDF]
Diagnostic Molecular Pathology, 1995 Kerr and colleagues (II) coined the term" apoptosis" to designate a particular form of cell death distinct from necrosis. The salient features of apoptosis, which Kerr defined in histopathologic terms, were the breakup of individual cells into smaller, often round or ovoid cytoplasmic fragments containing pyknotic nuclear debris, called" apoptotic ...

Regulation of Apoptosis by Inhibitors of Apoptosis (IAPs) [PDF]
Cells, 2013 Inhibitors of Apoptosis (IAPs) are a family of proteins with various biological functions including regulation of innate immunity and inflammation, cell proliferation, cell migration and apoptosis. They are characterized by the presence of at least one N-terminal baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domain involved in protein-protein interaction.

Mitochondria and apoptosis [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1998 Programmed cell death serves as a major mechanism for the precise regulation of cell numbers and as a defense mechanism to remove unwanted and potentially dangerous cells. Despite the striking heterogeneity of cell death induction pathways, the execution of the death program is often associated with characteristic morphological and biochemical changes,

British Journal of Cancer, 2008 Within the era of molecularly targeted anticancer agents, it has become increasingly important to provide proof of mechanism as early on as possible in the drug development cycle, especially in the clinic. Selective activation of apoptosis is often cited as one of the major goals of cancer chemotherapy.

Apoptosis and inflammation [PDF]
Mediators of Inflammation, 1995 During the last few decades it has been recognized that cell death is not the consequence of accidental injury, but is the expression of a cell suicide programme. Kerr et al. (1972) introduced the term apoptosis. This form of cell death is under the influence of hormones, growth factors and cytokines, which depending upon the receptors present on the ...

The Journal of Pathology, 1999 The dogma that antineoplastic treatments kill tumour cells by damaging essential biological functions has been countered by the notion that treatment itself initiates a programmed cellular response. This response often produces the morphological features of apoptosis and is determined by a network of proliferation and survival genes, some of which are ...
