Novel insights into the synergistic interaction of Bortezomib and TRAIL: tBid provides the link [PDF]
The proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib has been identified as a potent enhancer of TRAIL-induced apoptosis in several human cancers. However, the identification of the underlying molecular mechanisms of this synergistic cell death induction has been ongoing

This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

RGDS peptide induces caspase 8 and caspase 9 activation in human endothelial cells
AbstractPeptides containing the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif inhibit cell adhesion and exhibit a variety of other biologic effects including anticoagulant and antimetastatic activities. The aim of the present study was to examine the anchorage-independent effects of an RGD-containing peptide, Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS), on human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Ventricular androgenic-anabolic steroid-related remodeling: an immunohistochemical study [PDF]
Background: Several fatal cases of bodybuilders, following a myocardial infarction after long exposure to androgenicanabolic steroids (AAS), are reported. In recent years, evidence has emerged of cases of heart failure related to AAS consumption, with no
