Apoptosis Inducing Factors and Ischemic Cell Death |
Stephen Wilcox e-mail: stephen@unr.nevada.edu |
Recent research in the field of apoptosis has lead to the discovery of Apoptosis Inducing Factors. These factors have been shown to be able to be down regulated and the effect is a reduced amount of cell death after neural ischemia, as seen in the recent research article Apoptosis-Inducing Factor Triggered by Poly(ADP-Ribose)Polymerase and Bid Mediates Neuronal Cell Death after Oxygen–Glucose Deprivation and Focal Cerebral Ischemia by Carsten Culmsee, Changlian Zhu, Stefan Landshamer, Barbara Becattini, Ernst Wagner, Maurizio Pellechia, Klas Blomgren, and Nikolaus Plesnila for the Journal of Neuroscience. |
