A new review links mitochondrial failure to the inflammatory hybrid cell death program PANoptosis across stroke, hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury, positioning mitochondria as ...

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

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
