The caspases, comprising a family of cysteine proteases, have been firmly established as major mediators of the execution phase of apoptosis. While most of the known CASPs are involved in…

Introduction: Pathways for apoptosis induction or inhibition originate from both extrinsic and intrinsic signalling systems. Extrinsic signalling pathways are initiated by ligand binding to cell-surface receptors (e.g., Fas ligand binding…

See also  Apoptosis Assays Introduction: Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a process fundamental to the normal development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. Deregulation of programmed cell death leads to a number…

Integrins are widely expressed cell surface adhesion molecules that mediate cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions. Integrins are the principal receptors on animal cells for binding most  like collagens, fibronectin and laminins. T…

A basic feature of multicellular animals is the formation of diverse kinds of tissue, such as skin, blood, or muscle, where cells are organized in specific ways. Cells must also…

Cells adhere to each other and to the extracellular matrix through cell surface proteins called cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Tissue architecture is established and maintained to a large extent by…
