Formerly, the mechanisms responsible for the killing of cells by ionizing radiation were regarded as being divided into two distinct forms, interphase death and reproductive death. Since they were def...
To investigate the relationship of chondrocyte apoptosis and cartilage destruction, we performed in situ nick end labeling (ISNEL), electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry against apoptosis-rela...
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which lymphocytic infiltrates develop in the exocrine glands. Pathogenetic aspects of the disease can be studied in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse st...
To better understand the cytokine death-signal transduction pathways in human beta cells, we investigated the inhibitory effects of Bcl-2 (protooncogene bcl-2) and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIA...
Although the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to play an important role in the immunosurveillance of neoplasia, apoptotic factors that modulate the sensit...
Serrated adenoma of the colorectum is a recently proposed entity characterized by a saw-toothed structure of hyperplastic polyp and cytologic atypia of tubular adenoma. To clarify the role of apoptosi...
Apoptosis in HL60 human leukemia cells irradiated in vitro was quantified using a DNA fragmentation assay. Dose-response curves for induction of apoptosis in HL60 cells 6 h after irradiation with 280 ...
We have analysed the effects of p53 and of the apoptosis susceptibility gene Rapop1 (Radiation-induced apoptosis 1) located on chromosome 16 on glucocorticoid- and radiation-induced in vivo apoptosis ...
