Calcium plays a variety of roles in signaling between and within a host of cell types and processes, such as nerve signals, cardiac heart muscle contraction, apoptosis and neoplastic conditions.
Fas receptor is a member of the tumor necrosis $factor-\alpha$ family of death receptors that mediate physiologic apoptotic signaling. To investigate the molecular ...
Although the presence of a BH4 domain distinguishes the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 from its proapoptotic relatives, little is known about its function. BH4 deletion converts Bcl-2 into a proapoptotic ...
Neurons run on calcium, which plays a dual role as a charge carrier and an intracellular messenger. Calcium signals regulate various developmental processes and have a key role in apoptosis, ...
Researchers from Japan have developed novel complex-peptide hybrids, which can induce programmed cell death in apoptosis-resistant cancer cells Apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death (PCD), is a ...
Billions of cells in our bodies die every day in an important process called apoptosis. Now, researchers at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute have mapped out a sequence of events that are necessary ...
