Because Ras signaling is frequently activated by major hepatocellular carcinoma etiological factors, a transgenic zebrafish constitutively expressing the kras(V12) oncogene in the liver was… (More)
Neuronal cell death can occur by means of either necrosis or apoptosis. Both necrosis and apoptosis are generally believed to be distinct mechanisms of cell death with different characteristic… (More)
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a juvenile neurodegenerative disorder characterized by premature neuronal loss and altered cholesterol metabolism. Previous reports applying an 8-h exposure of… (More)
Human liver cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most common type. Aberrant Ras signaling has been implicated in the development and… (More)
Findings that antioxidant treatment may be beneficial in Alzheimer's disease indicate that oxidative stress is an important factor in its pathogenesis. Studies have also suggested that cholesterol… (More)
Rotenone is an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I that produces a model of Parkinson's disease (PD), where neurons undergo apoptosis by caspase-dependent and/or caspase-independent pathways.… (More)
Studies have suggested that cholesterol imbalance in the brain might be related to the development of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Niemann-Pick disease type C. Previously,… (More)
Studies have shown that the lipid peroxidation by-product, 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), is involved in many pathological events in several neurodegenerative diseases. A number of signaling pathways… (More)
Studies suggest that cholesterol imbalance in the brain might be related to the development of neurological disorders. U18666A is a well-known amphiphile which inhibits intracellular cholesterol… (More)
