Abstract
Bid, a BH3-only Bcl-2 family member, is proven to be a pivotal molecule for the regulation of tumorigenesis by its multiple functions in promoting apoptosis, survival and proliferation. Growing evidence supports that Bid has double roles with respect to stress-response. In most cases it functions in a truncated form, but the cleavage of Bid may not be an absolute requirement for Bid to be pro-apoptotic. Full-length Bid can also translocate to and activate the mitochondria without cleavage. Bid has emerged as a central player linking death signals through surface death receptors to the core apoptotic mitochondrial pathway. Bid is also involved in DNA damage response, and the phosphorylated Bid may negatively regulate its pro-apoptotic function independent of the BH3 domain. This review surveys recent developments in understanding the molecular mechanisms of Bid activation and its roles in regulating the cross-talk of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Advances in Cancer Biomarkers and Potential Drug Targets: From Diagnosis to Therapy
Cancer biomarkers play a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. They provide valuable information for cancer detection, risk assessment, treatment selection, and monitoring response to therapy. With advancements in molecular biology and high-throughput technologies, there has been an increasing interest in identifying and characterizing cancer biomarkers ...read more
Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Target Drug Resistant Tumors
With the development of disciplines such as chemical biology and molecular biology, the genes or proteins closely related to tumor occurrence and development have gradually become clear. Targeted therapies targeting these genes or proteins provide more effective methods for tumor treatment. Tumor targeted drugs generally only act on specific targets ...read more
ROLE OF IMMUNE AND GENOTOXIC RESPONSE BIOMARKERS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Biological biomarkers have been used in medical research as an indicator of a normal or abnormal process inside the body, or of a disease. Nowadays, various researchers are in process to explore and investigate the biological markers for the early assessment of cancer. DNA Damage response (DDR) pathways and immune ...read more
Targeting the battlefield between host and tumor: basic research and clinical practice on reshaping tumor immune microenvironment
Immune system protects host against malignant tumors through effector cells and molecules. Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses cancer progression. Chronic inflammation facilitates cancer progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often lead to anti-cancer immune responses. ...read more
