Cancer is regarded as the abnormal cellular multiplication; it is not controlled by the organism; and its cells present a differentiated DNA. Initially, the disease does not show clinical signs, but it can be diagnosed by laboratorial examinations. When tumors are present in the maxillofacial area, they can entail the loss of these area organs, which become responsible for the carrier's social environment exclusion. This paper aimed at showing, through a literature review, the cancers that more commonly happen in the face and the possibilities of regenerating in the patient mutilated through surgical reconstruction and prostheses.

    We present a material of 36 LMs treated with OK-432 during the period of 1999-2009 and with an average follow-up time of 6 years. Immediate post-treatment results were compared with the late follow-up findings. Primary and late response to therapy was evaluated with an MRI scan by measuring the cha...

  3. p53 Mediates Autophagy and Cell Death by a Mechanism Contingent On Bnip3.
    Erika Yan Wang, Hongying Gang, and Lorrie A Kirshenbaum

    Hypertension (2013) PMID 23648705

    We showed that the Bcl-2 death gene Bnip3 is highly induced during ischemia, where it triggers mitochondrial perturbations resulting in autophagy and cell death. However, whether p53 regulates Bnip3 and autophagy is unknown. Herein, we provide new compelling evidence for a novel signaling axis that...
