Changes in the Apoptotic and Survival Signaling in Cancer Cells and Their Potential Therapeutic Implications

Abstract excerpt

In normal healthy tissues, an equilibrium is established between cell death and survival. This equilibrium ensures that cells survive in the right milieu, but undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) when damaged, or when the environment is no longer supportive. Diseases may occur with alterations in this homeostasis. For example, cancer cells may survive in an environment in which they would not normally exist....
