Billions carry this parasite – here’s why most never get sick
Brain parasite study reveals crucial immune “emergency switch”.
The enzyme caspase-8 induces a molecular cell death programme called pyroptosis without involving its enzymatic activity, a new study by Hamid Kashkar published in Nature shows. In order to safeguard ...
Expression profiles associated with disease progression in non-small cell lung cancer. Background: Cisplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic drug used for treating a variety of human cancers such ...
The primary interest of our lab is to investigate the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis and how they impact human health and disease. This focus has evolved to include the investigation of ...
The enzyme caspase-8 regulates different modes of cell death, according to new research. The enzyme caspase-8 induces a molecular cell death programme called pyroptosis without involving its enzymatic ...
Caspases are proteases: enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins and are part of the cysteine–aspartic acid protease family. They are vital to the mechanism of programmed cell death in animals ...
