Proteasome Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy Proteasomes are enzyme complexes responsible for the breakdown of regulatory proteins in the cell. These regulatory proteins are essential for the growth, survival and spread of cancer cells, so the proteasome is an attractive target for the development of new cancer drugs called proteasome inhibitors. proteasome • regulatory proteins • transcription factors • apoptosis • angiogenesis

Human AGTR1 Expression The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) increases blood pressure by activating AT1R, which occurs in numbers determined by its gene expression. human agtr1 gene expression • at1r expression • angiotensin ii type 1 receptor gene • agtr1 transcriptional regulation • genetic influence on cardiovascular disease
Angiotensin II Signaling Pathways Tyrosine kinase signaling is but one path activated by angiotensin II to regulate fluid balance, cell growth, and more. angiotensin ii signaling pathways • tyrosine kinase activation by ras • angiotensin g-protein coupled receptor • signaling cascades in heart disease • downstream angiotensin ii effects
Ras Proteins, the Cell Cycle and Cancer The cell cycle is a carefully choreographed series of events that lead to cell division. In cancer, a mutated gene results in the loss of normal control over this process, leading to uncontrolled cell division. this article focuses on one of the principal players in this process, the ras protein. A mutation i the ras gene leads to about 30% of all cancers. ras • signaling • cell cycle • gdp • gtp

Oncolytic Viruses and Cancer Therapy Oncolytic viruses are used to preferentially infect and kill cancer cells, while not harming normal tissues. Recent advances in virology and molecular biology have revitalized the field which now holds great promise. oncolytic • virus • apoptosis • lysis • p53
Oxidative Stress and the Neuropathies NAC - N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is effective in the treatment of HIV and the related symptoms that stem from this disease. It is also possible that due to the many similarities of most aspects of HIV and the Neuropathies - that there is common ground here and that the solution to one may be also the solution to the other. Thus - an introduction to the presence of and the current research involving NAC. nac • n-acetyl cysteine • procysteine • hiv • pns neuropathies |
