## Abstract Many of the healthcare consequences of cigarette smoking could be due to its ability to compromise the immune system, and in respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a constant low level of infection could be responsible for some of the symptoms/pathology.

## Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces a glial response in which astrocytes become activated and produce inflammatory mediators. The molecular basis for regulation of glialβinnate immune responses remains poorly understood. Here, we examined the activation of retinoic acidβinducible gene (RIG
## Abstract ## Background Growing evidence suggests that tobacco can affect the responsiveness of cancer cells to treatment, particularly those of head and neck cancer. This article describes the effects of nicotine on the signaling of the death pathway, resulting in a decreased cytotoxicity of va
The DNA damage and replication checkpoints are signaling mechanisms that regulate and coordinate cellular responses to genotoxic conditions. Unlike typical signal transduction mechanisms that respond to one or a few stimuli, checkpoints can be activated by a broad spectrum of extrinsically or intrin
