IRF-1 transcriptionally upregulates PUMA, which mediates the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in IRF-1-induced apoptosis in cancer cells
Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is a transcription factor that acts as a tumor suppressor and causes apoptosis in cancer cells. We evaluated IRF-1-induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cell lines. We esta...

Interferon regulatory factor-1-induced apoptosis mediated by a ligand-independent fas-associated death domain pathway in breast cancer cells
Interferon (IFN) regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is a transcription factor that has apoptotic anti-tumor activity. In breast cancer cell types, IRF-1 is implicated in mediating apoptosis by both novel and establis...

Ipertiroidismo dopo paratiroidectomia
Il trattamento chirurgico dell’iperparatiroidismo coinvolge in genere la manipolazione della tiroide, e studi di piccole dimensioni hanno riportato la comparsa di ipertiroidismo subito dopo la paratiroidectomi...
