A series of novel coumarin/2-cyanoacryloyl hybrids were prepared and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity. Among them, two analogs 5p and 5q showed promising antiproliferative activity against a panel of cancer cell lines, including A549 ...

Pyroptosis: shedding light on the mechanisms and links with cancers
Pyroptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death (PCD) discovered after apoptosis and necrosis, is characterized by cell swelling, cytomembrane perforation and lysis, chromatin DNA fragmentation, and the release of intracellular proinflammatory contents,

AbstractThe basic mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative diseases are unknown. Loss of function of specific regions of the brain is due to incapacitation of cells that constitute those regions. Cells can simply stop functioning normally (neurons may cease to transmit signals), or they may die.

Codeine-induced sperm DNA damage is mediated predominantly by oxidative stress rather than apoptosis
Background: Opioids have been implicated to induce infertility. Although codeine remains the most used opioid for recreational purpose, no study has documented its effect on sperm quality.

Caspases and their substrates [PDF]
Protease biology is intimately linked to the functional consequences of substrate cleavage events. Human caspases are a family of 12 fate-determining cysteine proteases that are best known for driving cell death, either apoptosis or pyroptosis. More recently, caspases have been shown to be involved in other cellular remodeling events as well including ...

Granzymes A and K are two highly homologous serine proteases expressed by mammalian cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and natural killer cells (NK). Granzyme A is the most abundant of the different granzymes (gzms) expressed by these two cell types.
