## Abstract The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a key role in neural development, regeneration, and synaptic plasticity. The crystal structure of a fragment of NCAM comprising the three N‐terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)‐like modules indicates that the first and second Ig modules bind to eac

## Abstract Model studies have shown that peptides derived from the __N__‐terminal region of bovine lactoferrin (Lf‐B) exhibit antitumor activity against certain cell lines. This activity is due primarily to the peptides' apoptogenic effect. Several reports indicate that cationic residues clustered
## Abstract We constructed a powerful artificial cytoprotective protein, FNK, from an antiapoptotic member of the BCL‐2 family, Bcl‐x~L~. To test the efficacy of FNK in protecting cochlear hair cells (HCs) from aminoglycoside‐induced cell death in vivo, we fused FNK with protein transduction domain
