Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder to date, with no cure or preventive therapy. Histopathological hallmarks of AD include deposition of β-amyloid plaques and formation of neurofibrillary tangles in brain. Despite extensive research, only five approved drugs are available for the management of AD. Hence, there is a need to look for alternative therapies and new drugs. Use of natural products in medicine has gained popularity in recent years and several natural compounds with neuroprotective effects have been studied in detail. Some of them target the disease pathways and improve cognition by directly affecting amyloidogenesis, programmed cell death and increase neuronal cell survival. Currently, phytochemicals like polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and vitamins from plants have received a special attention from the scientific community against the pathological processes in conditions like cancer, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. Many efforts have been made to unravel the molecular mechanisms and the specific interactions of phytochemicals, which targets disease pathways in the AD. Further studies on these natural products and their mechanism...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
