with apoptotic cell death.

apoptotic indices are lower among persons colonized
with cag + compared to cag - strains or uninfected persons leading us to postulate that reduced rates of cell loss, when accompanied by hyperproliferation, may heighten retention of mutagenized cells, which could predispose towards cancer.

apoptotic pathway is activated by external signals through transmembrane tumour necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs) whose intracellular death domain interacts
with downstream adaptors.
Since amiodarone HCL is known to exert its cytotoxic effect through the extrinsic, caspase - 9 independent
apoptotic pathway [33] our microarray results confirm that the differential cytotoxic effect seen in NSCs treated
with amiodarone HCL is due to specific activation of extrinsic apoptosis pathways resulting from exposure to the drug.

with amiodarone leads to a significant decrease in the patient's serum TNFα concentrations while paradoxically the amiodarone toxicity is exerted through TNF - mediated
apoptotic pathways [41].

with a pregnancy preexisting premalignant mammary cells overcome both the
apoptotic response to an oncoprotein and the robust cell death at involution, which normally clears the large mass of cells gained during pregnancy / lactation.
