Abstract
Voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC) are major constituents of the outer mitochondrial membrane. Over the past few years, several hypotheses and mechanisms have been forwarded for and against a role for VDAC in outer mitochondrial membrane permeability and the subsequent release of apoptosis promoting factors. The current review outlines current knowledge related to the role of VDAC in the regulation of cell death and speculates on possible therapeutic applications through VDAC modulation.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
