Therapeutic Exploitation of Apoptosis and Autophagy for Glioblastoma
1 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Induction of caspase-dependent apoptosis (type I cell death) is a major mechanism by which most chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation kill tumor cells. However, conventional cancer therapies fail to mediate their effects in a target-specific fashion. The extremely unfavorable prognosis for patients suffering from glioblastomas (GBMs) is strongly correlated to the intrinsic apoptosis resistance of GBM cells which...
