The 2nd International Workshop 'Novel Therapeutic Strategies in Cancer' in St-Petersburg
The 2nd workshop ‘Novel Therapeutic Strategies in Cancer’
sponsored by the Russian Government program, supporting
the research in Russian universities under the guidance of the
world-leading scientists was held in September 2012.
Presentations reviewed recent findings of the leading scientists
from Russia, Europe, US and China on various aspects of
cell death regulation and aging in cancer, cancer metabolism
and stem cell research. [Opening paragraph
Apoptotic cell death in disease-Current understanding of the NCCD 2023
Apoptosis is a form of regulated cell death (RCD) that involves proteases of the caspase family. Pharmacological and genetic strategies that experimentally inhibit or delay apoptosis in mammalian systems have elucidated the key contribution of this process not only to (post-)embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis, but also to the etiology of multiple human disorders. Consistent with this notion, while defects in the molecular machinery for apoptotic cell death impair organismal development and promote oncogenesis, the unwarranted activation of apoptosis promotes cell loss and tissue damage in the context of various neurological, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, infectious, neoplastic and inflammatory conditions. Here, the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) gathered to critically summarize an abundant pre-clinical literature mechanistically linking the core apoptotic apparatus to organismal homeostasis in the context of disease.Ilio Vitale ...
