The growth and death of cancer cells in the lab are studied primarily in two-dimensional cell cultures. In a study published ...

A new study identifies cuproptosis as a major regulated cell death pathway in ischemic acute kidney injury and shows that the natural compound Schisandrin B protects kidney cells in a CTR1-dependent ...

An international research team has discovered a previously unknown mechanism that plays a key role in the signaling pathways involved in programmed cell death. The team identified the protein HERC4 as ...

PANoptosis is an integrated form of programmed cell death (PCD) that combines features of pyroptosis, apoptosis and ...

Cell death is rarely a tidy affair, but a newly proposed framework argues that one recently identified form of lytic cell ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

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 ...

Our bodies divest themselves of 60 billion cells every day through a natural process of cell culling and turnover called apoptosis. These cells - mainly blood and gut cells - are all replaced with new ...

Darwin's theory of natural selection provides an explanation for why organisms develop traits that help them survive and reproduce. Because of this, death is often seen as a failure rather than a ...
