Insights into Programmed Cell Death through Structural Biology
(Strauss et al., 1999). Inappropriate apoptosis also contributes to several neurological disorders. In Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease, specific Stephen W. Fesik* Abbott Laboratories Abbott Park, Illinois 60064 neurons prematurely commit suicide, which can lead to irreversible memory loss, uncontrolled muscular movements, and depression. Programmed cell death plays a critical...
متن کاملPlacental programmed cell death: insights into the role of aquaporins.
STUDY HYPOTHESIS Are the placental aquaporins (AQPs) involved in the apoptosis of human trophoblast? STUDY FINDING The general blocking of placental AQPs with HgCl2 and, in particular, the blocking of AQP3 activity with CuSO4 abrogated the apoptotic events of human trophoblast cells. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Although apoptosis of trophoblast cells is a natural event involved in the normal deve...
متن کاملEmerging insights into the biology of metastasis: A review article
Metastasis means the dissemination of the cancer cells from one organ to another which is not directly connected to the primary site. Metastasis has a crucial role in the prognosis of cancer patients. A few theories, different types of cell and several molecular pathways have been proposed to explain the mechanism of metastasis. In this work, the related articles in the limited period of time, ...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death in plants: new insights into redox regulation and the role of hydrogen peroxide.
Programmed cell death (PCD), the highly regulated dismantling of cells, is essential for plant growth and survival. PCD plays key roles in embryo development, formation and maturation of many cell types and tissues, and plant reaction/adaptation to environmental conditions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are not only toxic by products of aerobic metabolism with strictly controlled cellular level...
متن کاملApoptosis: programmed cell death.
C urrently there is much interest and excitement in the understanding of how cells undergo the process of apoptosis or programmed cell death. Understanding how, why, and when cells are instructed to die may provide insight into the aging process, autoimmune syndromes, degenerative diseases, and malignant transformation. This review focuses on the development of apoptosis and describes the proce...
