Thalidomide and its analogues: A review of the potential for immunomodulation of fibrosis diseases and opthalmopathy.

abstract：:Numerous studies have demonstrated that neuronal cell death occurs via extrinsic (death receptors) and intrinsic (mitochondria) pathways. Radiation induces caspase activation fundamentally via the mitochondrial pathway. To investigate the role of caspase, a cell permeable pan-caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-fmk [N-benzyloxyc...
