Virus Infection and Death Receptor-Mediated Apoptosis
Virus infection can trigger extrinsic apoptosis. Cell-surface death receptors of the tumor necrosis factor family mediate this process. They either assist persistent viral infection or elicit the elimination of infected cells by the host.

AIDS and the death receptors [PDF]
Activation-induced cell death (AICD) of T cells involves the CD95 receptor/ligand system. T cell activation through the T cell receptor results in expression of the CD95 ligand (CD95L) that acts on CD95+ cells by direct binding and in a paracrine or autocrine fashion.

Death receptor signaling [PDF]
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a common property of multicellular organisms ([Danial and Korsmeyer, 2004][1]; [Krammer, 2000][2]). It can be triggered by a number of factors, including UV- or γ-irradiation, chemotherapeutic drugs or signaling by death receptors (DR).

microRNAs and death receptors [PDF]
Death receptors induce apoptosis through either the Type I or II pathway. In Type I cells, the initiator caspase-8 directly activates effector caspases such as caspase-3, whereas in Type II cells, the death signal is amplified through mitochondria thereby activating effector caspases causing cell death. Recently, there have been advances in elucidating

Death receptor signals to the mitochondria [PDF]
Apoptosis is the best-characterized form of programmed cell death (PCD) and is of fundamental importance in tissue homeostasis. In mammalian systems, there are two major pathways that are involved in the initiation of apoptosis: the "extrinsic" death receptor pathway and the "intrinsic" mitochondrial pathway.

Tristetraprolin Posttranscriptionally Downregulates TRAIL Death Receptors
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has attracted attention as a potential candidate for cancer therapy. However, many primary cancers are resistant to TRAIL, even when combined with standard chemotherapy.

An update on immunotherapy with PD-1 and PD-L1 blockade [PDF]
Cancer is the leading cause of death and is on the rise worldwide. Until 2010, the development of targeted treatment was mainly focused on the growth mechanisms of cancer.

Life and death by death receptors
ABSTRACT Death receptors are members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily characterized by a cytoplasmic region known as the “death domain” that enables the receptors to initiate cytotoxic signals when engaged by cognate ligands. Binding to the ligand results in receptor aggregation and recruitment of

Prostate cancer targeting using replication-selective adenoviruses in combination with phytochemicals [PDF]
PhD 2009 QMOncolytic adenoviral mutants have demonstrated good safety profiles but, despite some encouraging clinical results, efficacy as a single agent was limited. Combinations with conventional chemo- or radiotherapy significantly enhanced the anti-
