Survivin selective inhibitor YM155 induce apoptosis in SK-NEP-1 Wilms tumor cells
Background Survivin, a member of the family of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, functions as a key regulator of mitosis and programmed cell death. YM155, a novel molecular targeted agent, suppresses survivin, which is overexpressed in many tumor types ...

Dynamic expression of genes associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder across development [PDF]
Common genetic variation contributes a substantial proportion of risk for both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Furthermore, there is evidence of significant, but not complete, overlap in genetic risk between the two disorders.

Plasma biomarkers and genetics in the diagnosis and prediction of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease-related pathologies have undergone rapid developments during the past few years, and there are now well-validated blood tests for amyloid and tau pathology, as well as neurodegeneration and astrocytic activation.

Introduction Zinc finger‐like protein that regulates apoptosis (Zfra) is a naturally occurring 31‐amino‐acid protein. Synthetic peptides Zfra1–31 and Zfra4–10 are known to effectively block the growth of many types of cancer cells. Methods Ten‐month‐old triple‐transgenic (3×Tg) mice for Alzheimer's disease (AD) received synthetic Zfra peptides via tail
