Another study, conducted by Taylor and his colleagues (2019), demonstrated that NaB increased apoptosis in glioblastoma cells by decreasing antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, increasing proapoptotic protein Bax, activating caspase 3, and degrading poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) [40]. The gene discussed is BCL2; the disease is glioblastoma.
