Localization of leptin receptor mRNA and the long form splice variant (Ob-Rb) in mouse hypothalamus and adjacent brain regions by in situ hybridization.

abstract：:Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the TNF family of cytokines that promotes apoptosis and NF-kappaB activation. Here we show that recombinant hu-TRAIL initiates the activation of multiple caspases, the loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, the cleavage of BI...
