The mitochondrial electrochemical gradient is often disturbed during apoptosis and can be detected using cationic dyes such as DePsipher™ (5,5’6,6’- tetrachloro-1,1’,3,3’-tetraethylbenz-imidazolylcarbocyanine iodide) or MitoShift™ (tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester). Activation of caspases, or cysteinyl proteases, is a necessary event for execution of the apoptotic response. Some of the caspases

Protein in the body – effective against hepatitis C
Protein in the body can improve its ability to detect and treat viral infections such as influenza and hepatitis C. This conclusion leads a laboratory study by researchers from the University Institute of cancer in Pittsburgh, USA. To start playback in the body, the virus actually “invaded”cells and “takes” control over them. Experts explain that, despite progress in the field of vaccines …
