Recent advances in science and technology have revealed that cell death is not merely a passive disappearance, but a diverse and controlled process. While death was once thought to consist of only two ...

An international research team has discovered a previously unknown mechanism that plays a key role in the signaling pathways ...

From early development to old age, cell death is a part of life. Without enough of a critical type of cell death known as apoptosis, animals wind up with too many cells, which can set the stage for ...

A new review in the Journal of Translational Medicine details how vesicles released by dying cells actively regulate bone ...

A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has identified a molecular switch that controls whether stressed ...

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a tightly regulated biological process necessary for normal tissue maintenance and development. However, aberrations in apoptotic signaling networks are ...

In the fight against disease, programmed cell death – also known as apoptosis – is a key protective function of the body. It breaks down cells that are damaged or have undergone dangerous changes.

When cells are about to die, they send signals that trigger proteins which are supposed to destroy them, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Some cells activate the signal but then resist the ...

After cells die, they leave a residue that sends messages to other cells in ways that are valuable to the immune system. But this process can also be hijacked by viruses such as influenza, according ...
