Silibinin Activates p53-Caspase 2 Pathway and Causes Caspase-Mediated Cleavage of Cip1/p21 in Apoptosis Induction

Recent research has shed light on the mechanisms involved in silibinin-induced apoptosis of RT4 cells, having intact p53. The study found that silibinin increased p53 protein level and activated caspase cascade, leading to apoptosis. The researchers also discovered a regulatory loop between p53 and caspase 2, where silibinin-caused p53 activation

Neurophysiological Evidence for Selective Auditory Attention Deficits in Children with Specific Language Impairment

Recent research from the United States has shed new light on the relationship between language abilities and attention in children. Studies suggest that children with poor language skills have difficulty filtering out irrelevant information, which can lead to difficulties with selective attention. A new study published in Brain Research has
