In Alzheimer's, brain cells die too soon. In cancer, dangerous cells don't die soon enough. That's because both diseases alter the way cells decide when to end their lives, a process called programmed ...

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 ...

The latest findings on the interaction between cell death and cellular senescence in cancer and their pathophysiological significance have been reviewed. Aging cells secrete substances known to ...

Resurrection beyond cellular disintegration is simply impossible. However, when a person dies, cell death itself isn’t instant. Researchers are taking advantage of a timed window during which they can ...

During Earth’s early days, bacteria developed a self-destruct strategy for detecting and destroying phages before they’re able to take over the cell’s machinery. While this does wonders for our immune ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers" of cells—during the process of cell death. The discovery sheds light on ...

On the afternoon of May 4, the online academic event Master Forum was successfully held, co-organized by the Clinical ...

Contrary to misconceptions among medical professionals and patients alike, individuals born with sickle cell trait (SCT) show no risk of experiencing the acute pain crises known to occur with sickle ...

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent ...
