Anthocyanins and Gingerols Exhibit Synergism in their Anticancer and Antioxidant Effects in Vitro
DownloadFall 2022
Anthocyanins and gingerols are naturally occurring phenolic compounds abundant in berries and ginger, respectively. They have been reported to induce antioxidant effects, inhibit the growth of different cancer cell lines, and stimulate apoptosis by modulating different cellular signal pathways....

Investigating the role of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling as a potential target for anti-angiogenic therapy
DownloadFall 2021
Angiogenesis is an essential process for normal growth and development whereby new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing ones. The balance between pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic growth factors is critical to maintain normal physiological condition. Prolonged activation of angiogenesis...

Poxviruses encode many genes that are orthologs of cellular genes. These orthologs serve many functions, but those that are of most interest are ones that have evolved further and now serve an immune-evasion function. Such genes were likely first acquired by poxviruses through some form of...

Caspases are a family of enzymes that regulate biological processes, such as inflammation and programmed cell death, through proteolysis. For example, in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, cell death signaling involves cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, which leads to the activation of...
