The Anti-apoptosis Effects of Daidzein in the Brain of D-Galactose Treated Mice
The purpose of this study was to explore the neuroprotective effects of daidzein on the apoptotic pathway in the hippocampus and cortex of D-galactose treated mice. For this purpose we have examined the expression of bcl-2 mRNA, bax mRNA and caspase-3 in

Role of microRNA-124-3p/Bax axis in neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy
Neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a neurological disease that can cause neonatal death. MicroRNA-124-3p (miR-124-3p) plays an important role in the development of various diseases.

Activation of apoptosis and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest along with inhibition of melanogenesis by humic acid and fulvic acid: BAX/BCL-2 and Tyr genes expression and evaluation of nanomechanical properties in A375 human melanoma cell line [PDF]
Objective(s): Humic acid (HA) and Fulvic acid (FA) are major members of humic substances, which are extracted from organic sources including soil and peat.

The mechanism by which the cell death mediator Bax becomes activated to cause mitochondrial damage, a key step for the intrinsic pathway to apoptosis, remain highly contentious. Although some data support a role for certain BH3-only proteins, such as Bim or tBid, to directly activate Bax, others have led to the conclusion that BH3-only proteins act ...

The commitment to programmed cell death via apoptosis is largely made upon activation of the proapoptotic mitochondrial proteins Bax or Bak. In this issue, Gallenne et al. (Gallenne, C., F. Gautier, L. Oliver, E. Hervouet, B. Noël, J.A. Hickman, O. Geneste, P.-F. Cartron, F.M. Vallette, S. Manon, and P. Juin. 2009. J. Cell Biol.

Cell death: Shadow Baxing [PDF]
Bcl-2, one of a family of key regulators of apoptosis, was the first cell-death machinery component to be identified, but how the family functions is still not clear. Mammalian Bax, a pro-apoptotic family member, can cause yeast cells to die, and two recent yeast genetic screens shed light on how Bax might function.

Unlatched BAX Pairs for Death [PDF]
Self-interacting BAX proteins permeabilize outer mitochondrial membranes to trigger apoptotic cell death. Czabotar et al. present two revealing structures of BAX dimers: one dimer has an activator BH3 helix bound into its canonical cleft, and the other dimer exposes a planar hydrophobic face potentially critical for membrane interactions.

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.

BAX-Dependent and BAX-Independent Regulation of Kiss1 Neuron Development in Mice [PDF]
The Kiss1 gene and its product kisspeptin are important regulators of reproduction. In rodents, Kiss1 is expressed in the hypothalamic arcuate (ARC) and anteroventral periventricular (AVPV)/rostral periventricular (PeN) nuclei. In the AVPV/PeN, females have more Kiss1 and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) neurons than males.
