## Abstract Methylene blue (MB), a widely studied reagent, is investigated in this work for its usage in photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT has been proved to be highly effective in the treatment of different types of cancers. Previous studies showed MB has both high affinity for mitochondria and high

## Abstract Cadmium, a well‐known environmental hazard, has caused serious health problems in humans and animals. Accumulating evidence suggests the cadmium toxicity is mediated by oxidative stress‐induced cell death. However, the molecular signaling underlying cadmium‐induced apoptosis remains unc
## Abstract ## Background The __in vivo__ transduction of hepatocytes with conventional retrovirus vectors requires the induction of cell division and this can currently only be achieved by invasive surgery or by inducing severe liver damage. We hypothesised that partial portal branch ligation (PB
Excess administration of glutamate is known to induce Ca 21 overload in neurons, which is the first step in excitotoxicity. Although some reports have suggested a role for Mg 21 in the excitotoxicity, little is known about its actual contribution. To investigate the role of Mg 21 in the excitotoxici
## Abstract Previously mildronate, an aza‐butyrobetaine derivative, was shown to be a cytoprotective drug, through its mechanism of action of inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase‐1, thus protecting mitochondria from long‐chain fatty acid accumulation and subsequent damage. Recently in an az
In previous work we showed that interferon alfa-2b (IFN-alpha2b) increases apoptosis on rat hepatic preneoplastic foci. The aim of this study was to determine if transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) was involved in the programmed cell death on the foci. Animals were divided into 6 groups: su
