Abstract

The authors have retracted this article because of overlap in images within the publication and with another previously published article. It was brought to our attention that there are inconsistencies in Figs. 3, 5 and 6. The left middle panel in Fig. 3, labeled "Ctrl", is the same as the left panel in Fig. 6, labeled "PD98059", except that the latter is flipped upside down and right-left. In Fig. 5, the gel in the middle left panel labeled TGF-β2 has been cropped in two different ways and used in Figs. 2 and 3 of Harakeh et al. This has been investigated by the Internal Research Integrity panel of the American University of Beirut who recommended retraction of the article as the original data are not available. *All authors agree to this retraction.

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.

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
