## Abstract Cyclooxygenaseβ2 (COXβ2) is an inducible enzyme that regulates prostaglandin synthesis and is overexpressed at sites of inflammation and in several epithelial cancers. A causal link for COXβ2 in epithelial tumorigenesis was shown in genetically manipulated animal models of colon and bre
## Abstract Apoptosis plays an important role in skin carcinogenesis. BclβX~L~, an antiapoptotic Bclβ2 family member, is a key regulator in the process. Aberrant expression of BclβX~L~ allows cells carrying mutations to survive and propagate. Overexpression of BclβX~L~ is correlated with tumor mali
