Abstract
Mitosis of somatic cells produces a daughter cell. Apoptosis, a naturally programmed cellular death mechanism, kills abnormal cells produced by mitosis. Cancer can develop when this equilibrium is disrupted, either by an upsurge in cell propagation or a reduction in tissue demise. Cancer therapy aims to cause cancer cells to die while inflicting little harm to healthy cells. This review of apoptotic mechanism processes improves our understanding of how certain malignancies begin and develop. The current cancer treatments can operate either by inducing apoptosis or causing direct cell damage. An insight into the resistance to apoptosis may explicate why malignancy treatments fail in some situations. New therapies grounded on our understanding of apoptotic processes are being developed to induce apoptosis of cancer cells while limiting the simultaneous death of normal cells. Various biological activities require redox equilibrium to function properly.
Antineoplastic medications that cause oxidative stress by raising ROS and blocking antioxidant mechanisms have recently attracted much interest. The rapid accumulation of ROS impairs redox balance and damages cancer cells severely. Here, we discuss ROS-instigating malignancy therapy and the antineoplastic mechanism used by prooxidative drugs.
Keywords: Apoptosis, ROS, CDK, JAK inhibitors, Pyroptosis, Mitophagy, Cardiac glycosides.

Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Head and Neck Disease
Head and neck diseases encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal passages, sinuses, salivary glands, and other structures of the head and neck region. These diseases can have significantly on essential function, such as breathing, swallowing, speaking, as well as the quality of life. ...read more
Common mechanisms underpinning neurodevelopmental disorders and psychiatric diseases
A growing number of large-scale epidemiologic studies has strongly suggested that common mechanisms may be shared by aberrant brain development and psychiatric disorders. There is now an appreciation of synergic roles of genetic variants and environmental stress which profoundly affect the genome integrity and reshape brain development. This can lead ...read more
New Cell Death Regulation Drugs for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with aberrant cell death processes playing a crucial role in their pathogenesis. Cell death in these diseases encompasses not only well-studied forms of apoptosis but also includes a variety of complex modes such as mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, entotic cell ...read more
