The Efficacy of siRNA Specific MDM2 in the Induction of Apoptosis in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line [PDF]
Background: A high number of human breast cancers overexpress the murine double minute (MDM2) gene which blocks the p53 protein which plays an important role in arresting the cell growth.

Bcl-2-associated transcription factor 1 interacts with fragile X-related protein 1 [PDF]
The absence of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) causes fragile X syndrome (FXS), which is the leading cause of hereditary mental retardation. Fragile X-related protein 1 (FXR1P), which plays an important role in normal muscle development, is one of the two autosomal paralogs of FMRP.

Reconstitution of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein into lipid membranes and biophysical evidence for its detergent-driven association with the pro-apoptotic Bax protein. [PDF]
The anti-apoptotic B-cell CLL/lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein and its counterpart, the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), are key players in the regulation of the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. However, how they interact at the mitochondrial

BEX1 promotes imatinib-induced apoptosis by binding to and antagonizing BCL-2. [PDF]
An enhanced anti-apoptotic capacity of tumor cells plays an important role in the process of breakpoint cluster region/Abelson tyrosine kinase gene (BCR/ABL)-independent imatinib resistance. We have previously demonstrated that brain expressed X-linked 1

Bcl-2-Associated X Protein Is the Main Mediator of Manumycin A-Induced Apoptosis in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Cells [PDF]
We previously demonstrated that the combination of paclitaxel and manumycin A, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor, enhanced apoptosis of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cells. However, the mechanism of the manumycin-induced apoptosis is not fully understood.

Inhibition of USP7 activity selectively eliminates senescent cells in part via restoration of p53 activity. [PDF]
The accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs) is a causal factor of various age-related diseases as well as some of the side effects of chemotherapy. Pharmacological elimination of SnCs (senolysis) has the potential to be developed into novel therapeutic ...

Aim: Chemokines, cytokines, and their related molecules play crucial roles in the fight against the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and its related complications. Royal jelly (RJ) is considered an immunomodulatory factor for humans. This clinical trial study aimed to explore the RJ effects on the relative expression of CCL2, CCL3, CCL8, IFN-β, NANOG, OCT4, BAX,
