Involvement of JNK and Caspase Activation in Hoiamide A-Induced Neurotoxicity in Neocortical Neurons
The frequent occurrence of Moorea producens (formerly Lyngbya majuscula) blooms has been associated with adverse effects on human health. Hoiamide A is a structurally unique cyclic depsipeptide isolated from an assemblage of the marine cyanobacteria M ...

Investigation of the cellular response to bone fractures: evidence for flexoelectricity [PDF]
The recent discovery of bone flexoelectricity (electrical polarization induced by strain gradient) suggests that flexoelectricity could have physiological effects in bones, and specifically near bone fractures, where flexoelectricity is theoretically highest. Here, we report a cytological study of the interaction between crack stress and bone cells. We

Non-apoptotic roles of apoptotic proteases: new tricks for an old dog [PDF]
This Open Question article highlights current advances in the study of non-apoptotic roles of apoptotic proteins. Apoptosis is a highly regulated and energy-requiring process in which cells actively kill themselves.

Global cellular response to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis
How cancer cells globally struggle with a chemotherapeutic insult before succumbing to apoptosis is largely unknown. Here we use an integrated systems-level examination of transcription, translation, and proteolysis to understand these events central to ...

Neuroglobin protects nerve cells from apoptosis by inhibiting the intrinsic pathway of cell death [PDF]
In the past few years, overwhelming evidence has accrued that a high level of expression of the protein neuroglobin protects neurons in vitro, in animal models, and in humans, against cell death associated with hypoxic and amyloid insult. However, until now, the exact mechanism of neuroglobin's protective action has not been determined.

Background & aim: Apoptosis induction is one of the basic goals in the production of anticancer drugs. Evaluation of the relationship between non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and apoptosis in cancer cells is promising.

TRAIL/Apo-2L: Mechanisms and Clinical Applications in Cancer
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/APO2L) is a member of the TNF family that promotes apoptosis by binding to the transmembrane receptors TRAIL-R1 /DR4 and TRAIL-R2/DR5.
