▪ Abstract Apoptosis is a highly regulated process of cell death that is required for the
development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. In contrast to necrosis, apoptosis …

Apoptosis is now recognized as an important process responsible for maintenance of the
cellular balance between proliferation and death. Apoptosis is distinct from necrosis in that it …

Abstract αA-and αB-crystallins are distinct antiapoptotic regulators. Regarding the
antiapoptotic mechanisms, we have recently demonstrated that αB-crystallin interacts with …

OBJECTIVES: Helicobacter pylori is an identified carcinogen for gastric cancer, however, the
underlying mechanisms remain to be defined. In this review, we sought to elucidate the role …

The porin (PorB) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an intriguing bacterial factor owing to its ability
to translocate from the outer bacterial membrane into host cell membranes where it …

Helicobacter pylori cag+ strains enhance gastric epithelial cell proliferation and attenuate
apoptosis in vivo, which may partially explain the increased risk of gastric cancer associated …

Epidemiological studies link increased garlic (Allium sativum) consumption with a reduced
incidence of colon cancer in various human populations. Experimental carcinogenesis …

Background & Aims: Human colonization with Helicobacter pylori increases the risk for distal
gastric adenocarcinoma, possibly by altering gastric epithelial cell cycle events and/or …

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori, the main cause of chronic gastritis, is a class I gastric
carcinogen. Chronic gastritis progresses to cancer through atrophy, metaplasia, and …

The mechanisms involved in mediating the enhanced gastric epithelial cell apoptosis
observed during infection with Helicobacter pylori in vivo are unknown. To determine …
