Several studies have reported mitochondrial dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Many nuclear DNA (nDNA) encoded proteins translocate to mitochondria, but their participation in the dysfunction of this cell organelle during RA is quite unclear. ...
Cisplatin ceases cell division and induces apoptosis in cancer cell lines. It is well established that cisplatin alters the expression of many genes involved in several cellular processes and pathways including transcription, p53 signaling pathway, a...
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in the male. Epidemiological studies have associated increased cancer incidence with reduced consumption of fruit and vegetables. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of dwarf pomegranat...
Automatic and accurate classification of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, will facilitate cell biology research. The state-of-the-art approaches in apoptosis classification use deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, these networks ar...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Current non-invasive scores for the assessment of severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and identification of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have insufficient performance to be included in clinic...

Postcardiac arrest syndrome yields poor neurological outcomes, but the mechanisms underlying this condition remain poorly understood. Autophagy plays an important role in neuronal apoptosis induced by ischemia. However, whether autophagy is involved ...
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of squamous cell carcinoma. Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) is considered to exhibit anticancer activity against several different types of cancer. We aimed to determine whether GS...
Scavenger receptors are a highly diverse superfamily of proteins which are grouped by their inherent ability to bind and internalize a wide array of structurally diverse ligands which can be either endogenous or exogenous in nature. Consequently, sca...

Natured botanical extract has attracted considerable attention recently in the field of skin anti-ultraviolet (UV) radiation. As a medicinal herb, Sophora japonica flower buds contained several components such as flavonoids, isoflavonoids, triterpene...
Cytochrome c (Cyt c) release and cellular pH change are two important mediators of apoptosis. Effective methods to regulate or monitor such two events are therefore highly desired for apoptosis research and cancer cell therapy. Herein, we exploited e...
