1. Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) in the plasma membrane induce apoptosis
Sammanfattning : Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is essential for proper development and functioning of the body systems. During development, apoptosis plays a central role to sculpt the embryo, and in adults, to maintain tissue homeostasis by eliminating redundant, damaged or effete cells. Therefore, a tight regulation of this process is essential. LÄS MER
2. In vitro models to study mechanisms of neural cell death induced by toxic agents
Sammanfattning : Neurotoxicity arises when exposure to toxic agents, either naturally occurring or manmade substances, alters the normal activity and/or structure of the nervous system. This can lead to disruption of vital metabolic processes and eventually to cell death. Certain unique features of the nervous system make it particularly vunerable to toxicants, e. LÄS MER
