Introduction: The Odontogenic Keratocyst is known for its aggressiveness, high recurrence rate and transformation of keratinized epithelia to non-keratinized squamous epithelium for which inflammation has been suggested to be responsible. bcl-2 an anti-apoptotic protein, prolongs the life span of epithelial cells and allows proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis.

Crocin promoted Jurkat cell apoptosis and inhibited cell growth in a dose-time-dependent manner. These results suggest that crocin can be used as a suitable clinical agent for the treatment of T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Electromagnetic radiation by wireless device (2.45 GHz) induces testicular apoptosis. Effects of supplemental selenium and L-carnitine on testicular apoptosis by 2.45 GHz microwave energy were evaluated.
ABSTRACT
Objective: It has been suggested that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) by wireless devices (2.45 GHz) induces testicular apoptosis. We investigated if supplemental selenium (Se) and L-carnitine may reduce this adverse effect.

Interferon-α promotes the antiproliferative effect of
gefitinib on human colon cancer cell lines SW-480 and
LOVO.
ABSTRACT
Background and Aims: Interferon-α (IFN-α) treatment is associated with up-regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and marked growth inhibition of colon cancer cell lines. We aimed to determine the effect of combining IFN-α and gefitinib in the growth of human colon cancer cell lines.
