Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed ...

A team of researchers at the University of Cologne's Center for Biochemistry, together with the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome, Italy, have discovered a fundamental biological mechanism that ...

For the first time, researchers at Umeå University have observed the same type of programmed cell death in microalgae as in humans. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, shows that this ...

Researchers from two Technion faculties have jointly developed a new compound and demonstrated its effectiveness against ...

How can molecular structures be analyzed when the resolution of the techniques available is not sufficient? Researchers from the fields of physics, chemistry and medicine at Heinrich Heine University ...

This finding, he suggests, helps link the study of cell death in the worm and oncogenesis in people. "There were a number of papers that had suggested a relationship between cell death and oncogenesis ...

Conventional cancer drugs work by triggering apoptosis, that is programmed cell death, in tumor cells. However, tumor cells have the ability to develop strategies to escape apoptosis, rendering the ...

This review highlights the critical role of ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) in regulating programmed cell death (PCD) in breast cancer (BC). As the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, BC ...

Cell death in dementia has long posed a frustrating problem. Toxic proteins pile up inside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and ...
