Impact of L-carnitine and selenium treatment on testicular apoptosis in rats exposed to 2.45 GHz microwave energy [PDF]
, 2015 Objective: It has been suggested that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) by wireless devices (2.45 GHz) induces testicular apoptosis. We investigated if supplemental selenium (Se) and L-carnitine may reduce this adverse effect.

Pharmacological inhibition of Bax-induced cell death: Bax-inhibiting peptides and small compounds inhibiting Bax [PDF]
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2019 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 ...

Validation of Voting Committees [PDF]
, 1997 This article contains a method to bound the test errors of voting committees with members chosen from a pool of trained classifiers. There are so many prospective committees that validating them directly does not achieve useful error bounds.

Non-phosphorylatable mutants of Ser184 lead to incomplete activation of Bax
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 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 ...

The pestivirus N terminal protease N(pro) redistributes to mitochondria and peroxisomes suggesting new sites for regulation of IRF3 by N(pro.) [PDF]
, 2014 The N-terminal protease of pestiviruses, N(pro) is a unique viral protein, both because it is a distinct autoprotease that cleaves itself from the following polyprotein chain, and also because it binds and inactivates IRF3, a central regulator of ...

Two Targets, One Hit: new Anticancer Therapeutics to Prevent Tumorigenesis Without Cardiotoxicity
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 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
Dental Research Journal, 2012 Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is caused by a deficiency of alfa-iduronidase (IDUA), which leads to intralysosomal accumulation of glysosaminoglycans.
