Multiple roles of the cell cycle inhibitor p21(CDKN1A) in the DNA damage response.
Among cell cycle regulatory proteins that are activated following DNA damage, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(CDKN1A) plays essential roles in the DNA damage response, by inducing cell… Expand

Functional analysis and case-control study of -160C/A polymorphism in the E-cadherin gene promoter: association with cancer risk.
BACKGROUND A C-->A polymorphism within the CDH1 (E-cadherin) promoter seems to be associated with a reduced efficiency of gene transcription in vitro. Due to the crucial role of E-cadherin in… Expand

Glutathione depletion causes cytochrome c release even in the absence of cell commitment to apoptosis
We demonstrate here that the release of mature cytochrome c from mitochondria is a cellular response to the depletion of glutathione, the main intracellular antioxidant, independently from the… Expand

PARP inhibitors: new tools to protect from inflammation.
Poly(ADP-ribosylation) consists in the conversion of β-NAD(+) into ADP-ribose, which is then bound to acceptor proteins and further used to form polymers of variable length and structure. The correct… Expand
