The Death of the Cancer Cell [PDF]
AbstractFor a century, the perception that there are qualitative differences between a normal cell and a cell belonging to a tumor has dominated discussions aimed at explaining cancer. However, an analysis of the experimental evidence suggests that individual normal cells and individual cancer cells share the same two fundamental behavioral properties,

Programmed Cell Death in Cancer Cells [PDF]
Resistance to programmed cell death is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells that affects the process of malignant transformation as well as response to cancer therapy. The goal of this review is to summarize recent information about programmed cell death (PCD) in healthy and cancer cells, as well as new perspectives for anticancer treatments targeting ...

In cancer cells only, TLR3 acquires death receptor properties by efficiently triggering the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis with Caspase-8 as apical protease.

Autophagic Cell Death and Cancer [PDF]
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a crucial process required for the normal development and physiology of metazoans. The three major mechanisms that induce PCD are called type I (apoptosis), type II (autophagic cell death), and type III (necrotic cell death). Dysfunctional PCD leads to diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Radiotherapy in bone sarcoma: the quest for better treatment option
Bone sarcomas are rare tumors representing 0.2% of all cancers. While osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma mainly affect children and young adults, chondrosarcoma and chordoma have a preferential incidence in people over the age of 40.

Glutathione in Cancer Cell Death [PDF]
Glutathione (L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine; GSH) in cancer cells is particularly relevant in the regulation of carcinogenic mechanisms; sensitivity against cytotoxic drugs, ionizing radiations, and some cytokines; DNA synthesis; and cell proliferation and death.

Autophagy in Cancer Cell Death [PDF]
Autophagy has important functions in maintaining energy metabolism under conditions of starvation and to alleviate stress by removal of damaged and potentially harmful cellular components. Therefore, autophagy represents a pro-survival stress response in the majority of cases.

Autophagy, cell death, and cancer [PDF]
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular catabolic process that is used by all cells to degrade dysfunctional or unnecessary cytoplasmic components through delivery to the lysosome. Increasing evidence reveals that autophagic dysfunction is associated with human diseases, such as cancer.
