Apoptosis is an important form of physiologic cell death displayed by an enormous variety of tissues under divergent conditions. The recent attention toward apoptosis in virtually all aspects of modern biology indicates that rapid and accurate differ

Brief mild hyperthermia is sufficient to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in many cell lines. Here we describe the effects of a number of factors modulating heat shock induced apoptosis outcomes. We report the effects of cell type, heat load,

As a sensitive technique for measuring DNA damage, the alkaline comet assay (capable of detecting and distinguishing apoptotic and necrotic damage) shows significantly greater ability to detect DNA breaks than a neutral counterpart. Using a heat shoc

Apoptotic DNA cleavage generally proceeds in two stages, first producing large 50–300kb fragments, and later oligonucleosomal pieces which create the characteristic DNA ladder. We show that zinc treatment of hyperthermia-induced apoptotic cultures

The ability to precisely describe tumour aggressiveness in human breast cancer is inadequate. Current prognostic indicators, although useful, cannot accurately predict tumour behavior. As a result, multivariate analyses are required to obtain any sig

The biological significance of apoptosis is becoming increasingly clear. Its relevance in tumor response to treatment as well as recent evidence for its important function as a regulating mechanism in tumorigenesis has also been demonstrated. One of

The etiology of spongiform encephalopathies has been sharply contested for decades. At the heart of the issue is the question of disease origin: Are prion diseases representative of primary neurodegenerative genetic disorders, or are they bona fide i

Inherent DNA damage in the form of single strand breaks and alkali labile sites is generated by essential intracellular processes, such as DNA replication and repair. Utilizing the in situ DNA unwinding assay and the comet assay (single cell gel), we

The pathogenesis and molecular basis of nerve cell death which accompanies scrapie infections in sheep are not well understood. Degeneration of neurons in culture caused by prion protein fragments has recently been reported to be consistent with mech

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) offers improved depth discrimination and spatial resolution to the analysis of biologic samples. We demonstrate in this paper that such technology is valuable in examining DNA single-strand breaks in human ce
