Abstract
Until recently it was believed that TNF-induced apoptosis is mediated exclusively by TNF-RI because TNF-RII lacks death domain. However, it has been demonstrated that TNF-RII enhances TNF-RI-mediated apoptosis. In this review, I have discussed the evidence and mechanisms by which TNF-RII regulates TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. A role of RIP is emphasized and novel mechanisms of FLIP-mediated inhibition of apoptosis are discussed. In addition, various mechanisms of TNF-induced activation of mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis have been reviewed.

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms in Vertigo /Vestibular Disorders
Vertigo and vestibular diseases are common among middle-aged and older adults, significantly increasing the risk of falls and leading to injuries and disabilities. Despite their prevalence, therapeutic advancements are hindered by limited understanding of the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms. This Special Issue is dedicated to bridging this gap by ...read more
