Pharmacological inhibition of Bax-induced cell death: Bax-inhibiting peptides and small compounds inhibiting Bax [PDF]
Bax is an essential mediator of mitochondria-dependent programed cell death. Bax belongs to the Bcl-2 family of proteins and its activities are regulated through interaction with other member proteins in the Bcl-2 family. To date, several apoptosis-inducing drugs activating Bax have been developed, and some of them are already in the market as ...

Non-phosphorylatable mutants of Ser184 lead to incomplete activation of Bax
The S184 residue of Bax is the target of several protein kinases regulating cell fate, including AKT. It is well-established that, in cellulo, the substitution of S184 by a non-phosphorylatable residue stimulates both the mitochondrial localization of ...

Inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) suppresses porcine oocyte ageing in vitro
Oocyte ageing is a complex of processes that occur when matured in vitro oocytes are, after reaching the metaphase II stage, exposed to further in vitro culture.

Two Targets, One Hit: new Anticancer Therapeutics to Prevent Tumorigenesis Without Cardiotoxicity
A serious adverse effect of cancer therapies is cardiovascular toxicity, which significantly limits the widespread use of antineoplastic agents. The promising new field of cardio-oncology offers the identification of potent anti-cancer therapeutics that ...

Apoptosis status and proliferative activity in mucopolysaccharidosis type I mice tongue mucosa cells
Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is caused by a deficiency of alfa-iduronidase (IDUA), which leads to intralysosomal accumulation of glysosaminoglycans.
