that e-cigarette aerosol with cherry flavors contains diacetyl and benzaldehyde by mass spectrometry analysis, which may cause epithelial respiratory injury. Nicotine with cherry and chocolate flavors in e-cigarettes caused cytokine release, cell apoptosis and oxidative stress in human primary AEC and ATII cells (Preliminary Data). This suggests the impairment of antioxidant defense system. DJ-1 is a chaperone-like protein localized in the mitochondria, cytoplasm and nucleus and protects cells…

Recombinant Angiostatin and Endostatin are naturally occurring polypeptides that are found several animal species and in humans. Angiostatin is produced by the cleavage of plasminogen and endostatin is formed by the splitting of collagen XVlll. Its main functions are being endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis that had been shown to reduce tumours size in murine models. They both are currently still being studied and undergoing clinical trials. Angiogenesis is defined as the development of new…

commonly used for general anesthesia worldwide because of their fast action and easy management. However, there is accumulating evidence indicating that general anesthetics that activate gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) receptors induce widespread apoptosis at a clinically relevant concentration in the developing brain of rodents [1, 2, 3]. Furthermore, anesthetic administration in children causes long-term impairments of cognitive behavior later in adulthood [4, 5, 6], raising concerns about the…

been previously revealed that leukemia cells produce lactate even in the presence of oxygen, we hypothesized that AML cells specifically are dependent on aerobic glycolysis and that treatment with dichloroacetate will stimulate apoptosis. We further hypothesized that apoptosis would be the result of the cells switching from aerobic glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in an increase in mitochondrial activity and reactive oxygen species and a decrease in survival proteins Bcl-2 and…

causes thickening of blood vessel walls that block the flow of blood to the brain. This is caused by a mutation in the Notch 3 gene. Cells containing abnormal Notch 3 receptor proteins results in disrupted normal functionality and ultimately leads to apoptosis of these cells. As the name of CADASIL suggests, it is an autosomal dominant inherited disease. This means that either parent needs to pass down a copy of the mutated gene to their offspring in order for them to develop CADASIL Disease.…

very hard for a person to breathe and may cause their body and brain not to function correctly. Tumor suppressor genes are destructive growth regulators that turn off cellular multiplying to the normal cells by repairing DNA or introducing apoptosis. Apoptosis is the cell’s suicidal functions that destroys the cell…

What are Stem Cell’s? • For Somatic stem cells, you can transfer a liver cell to another person’s liver to help grow. But you can’t transfer a liver cell to a muscle because it is already purposed for a different organ. It’s not like an embryonic stem cell. • An embryonic stem cell can be grown in to anything. But an adult stem cell is specialized in a certain organ • Adult stem cells remain un-dividing until they are needed to maintain muscle tissue, diseases, or tissue injuries. Current…

Concerning nanotechnological consumer products, the most rapidly growing is the use of nanoparticles (NPs).(47) So far the knowledge regarding the safety aspects of NPs is still in its initial phase and greater efforts is needed to understand the interaction of NPs with the human body. (48) Several studies have reported that NPs always showed more serious toxicity than bulks and suggested that their size and the dose were the key factors influencing NPs toxic effects.(49) Despite of this, large…

On the other hand secondary injury developed due to the mechanical injury involvement. It includes several biological events like – vascular changes, free radical formation, lipid peroxidation, disruption of ionic balance, glutamate toxicity, apoptosis, inflammatory response, blood flow changes and…

cancers researchers have turned to use new tumor therapy approaches based on creating change in kinetic of immune modulators (15, 23, 24). In this regard, SEB is a potent superantigen which can deteriorate tumor cells through growth inhibition and apoptosis inducing. Furthermore, SEB plays critical roles against different cancers by immune responses activation (25, 26). In the present study, we have documented that BM-MSCs are a strong factor with noticeable effects on the biology of myeloma…
