Abstract excerpt
In the hyperthermal treatment, the wild type (wt) p53 plays an important role in apoptosis induction in the tumor cells. In human gliomas, p53 frequently has some form of mutation. The mutant type (mt) p53 does not work properly as a tumor suppressor and this may result in poor responses during treatment. We investigated the relationship between apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and apoptosis under various thermal...
