In Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), pro-constrictive, pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic diatheses converge to produce contraction and excessive proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC), a hallmark of PAH-vascular remodeling. The increased afterload causes right...

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a broad term for a range of diseases that usually manifest with rapid failure of the affected organ. Although different in etiology, these diseases share a common pattern of injury originating in the vascular endothelium. In turn, the injured vasculature...

Apoptosis serves as a powerful defense against damaged and unwanted cells. The family of Bcl-2 proteins plays a key role in the regulation of apoptosis at the mitochondria. Members of the Bcl-2 family include pro- and anti-apoptotic members that collectively determine the state of the cell....

Flaviviruses, such as West Nile virus (WNV), Powassan virus (POW), and Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), are significant pathogens capable of causing serious neurological disease in both humans and animals. Despite their relevance to human health, treatment and vaccines for these viruses...

Targeting Phosphatidylserine for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Cell Death: Annexin V versus Phosphatidylserine-Binding Peptides
DownloadSpring 2016
There is currently no clinically approved, widely used molecular imaging agent for in vivo detection of cell death. Such an agent would be highly useful for early assessment of treatment efficacy in cancer patients, as well as for monitoring many other diseases in which cell death plays an...

Retrograde signaling mechanisms of nerve growth factor regulating the survival and apoptosis of sympathetic neurons
DownloadFall 2009
The survival of several neuron populations during development, including sympathetic neurons, is strictly regulated by neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor (NGF) released from innervation targets. NGF activates its receptor, TrkA, at axon terminals, to generate signals that are transmitted...

Apoptosis, an evolutionarily conserved cell death programme, is a potent barrier against virus infection. Central to this process are mitochondria, which harbour cytochrome c and other apoptosis-inducing factors. Once released, these factors activate a caspase cascade that culminates in cell...

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....
