Introduction: Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is the best described mode of physiological
cell death. During embryonal development and morphogenesis, apoptosis may be induced …

During embryonal development and morphogenesis, apoptosis may be induced by two
pathways. The first is an external protein signal originating from other cell also named as …

Background Apoptosis, one of the forms of programmed cell death, is a physiologic process
of cell death that is central to normal development and occurs in response to a variety of …

BACKGROUND: Reliable predictive biomarkers are required to address the challenge of
disease recurrence after thyroid cancer surgery. For this study, the authors assessed the …

Apoptosis, ie natural programmed cell death, is a physiological phenomenon indispensable
for normal functioning of the organism. The signal to apoptosis can be started practically in …

Abstract Background and Objectives Fas and its specific ligand (Fas‐L), both of which are
involved in apoptosis, exist in membrane‐bound and soluble forms. The soluble forms (sFas …

To evaluate the clinical usefulness of serum soluble Fas (sFas) and sFas ligand as a
prognostic factor and for monitoring the regression and progression of metastatic prostate …

It is commonly accepted that apoptosis plays an important role in the death of normal and
neoplastic cells. Related proteins and their receptors on cell surfaces regulate apoptosis …

Objectives. To measure the expression levels of Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) in testicular germ
cell tumor (TGCT) and to determine whether the serum level of soluble FasL (sFasL) could …

Background: Alternative splicing of the Fas transcript can produce a natural secreted isoform
of this molecule. Some cancer cells can also produce soluble Fas (sFas) which may have …
