Downregulation of decreases survival gene expression, promotes apoptosis and affects the cell cycle of gastric cancer cells.

Background: Chronic inflammation due to () infection promotes gastric carcinogenesis. Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a key mediator of inflammation, induces cell survival or apoptosis by binding to two receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2). TNFR1 can induce both survival and apoptosis, while TNFR2 results only in cell survival.

Design of Antibacterial Agents: Alkyl Dihydroxybenzoates against subsp. .

subsp. (Xcc) causes citrus canker, affecting sweet orange-producing areas around the world. The current chemical treatment available for this disease is based on cupric compounds.
