Biochemical Pathways Leading to Apoptosis
Xiaodong Wang, Ph.D. Investigator, University of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center at Dallas
Biography...
Summary: Xiaodong Wang studies the biochemical pathways that determine
when and how cells die by apoptosis, using cultured human cells as a
model system.
Individual cells that are no longer needed or are damaged beyond repair
undergo apoptosis, a form of cell death that is controlled and executed
by intrinsic cellular programs. The proper execution of apoptosis is
critical for the development, maintenance of organ homeostasis, and
elimination of virally infected or tumorgenic cells in multicellular
organisms. Therefore, an understanding of the apoptotic program at the
molecular level is of both theoretical and practical importance.

AND, remember, only the good die young.

Only The Good Die Young
Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson
The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night
The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed
Time it waits for no man
My future it is revealed
Time it waits for no man
My fate is sealed
If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today
Fly in the face of your prophets I mock your morality plays
The moon is red and bleeding
The sun is burned and black
The book of life is silent
No turning back
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Mystery madman a victim of cruel charade
Some innocent pawn in an end game one more stalemate
Is death another birthday?
A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
Do the undead live within us
And look through our eyes?
Walking on water are miracles all you can trust
Measure your coffin does it measure up to your lust?
So I think I'll leave you
With your bishops and your guilt
So until the next time
Have a good sin
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to hell
Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires...
