Stroke and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) are risk factors for each other; the
comorbidity of these brain disorders in aging individuals represents a significant challenge …

Abstract The Na+-K+-ATPase, or Na+ pump, is a member of the P-type ATPase superfamily.
In addition to pumping ions, Na+-K+-ATPase is engaged in assembly of multiple protein …

Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) was identified to function downstream of
receptor interacting protein 3 (RIP3) in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF)-induced necrosis (also …

Compared to the substantial volume of research on the general health consequences
associated with chronic smoking, little research has been specifically devoted to the …

Programmed cell death or apoptosis is broadly responsible for the normal homeostatic
removal of cells and has been increasingly implicated in mediating pathological cell loss in …

One of the exciting advances in modern medicine and life science is cell-based
neurovascular regeneration of damaged brain tissues and repair of neuronal structures. The …

Ion transport across the cell membrane mediated by channels and carriers participate in the
regulation of tumour cell survival, death and motility. Moreover, the altered regulation of …

Cell apoptosis and proliferation are two counterparts in sharing the responsibility for
maintaining normal tissue homeostasis. In recent years, the process of the programmed cell …

The loss of cell volume or cell shrinkage has been a morphological hallmark of the
programmed cell death process known as apoptosis. This isotonic loss of cell volume has …
