Boron inhibits apoptosis in hyperapoptosis condition: Acts by stabilizing the mitochondrial membrane and inhibiting matrix remodeling

An abnormally high apoptosis has been associated with a number of clinical conditions including embryonal malformations and various pathologies such as neuronal degeneration and diabetes. In this study, boron is reported to inhibit apoptosis in hyperapoptosis conditions as demonstrated in a model of hyperapoptosis. Boron is a metalloid which is present in food in small amounts and is suggested here to inhibit apoptosis by stabilizing the...
