Cells have the remarkable ability to initiate their own death through a mechanism called programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. Apoptosis contains sophisticated signalling pathways and ...

Cancer-killing T cells have been programmed to have two levels of specificity. First, the T cells have been equipped with a receptor sensitive to a protein that is found only in central nervous system ...

A team of researchers at the University of Cologne’s Center for Biochemistry, together with the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome, Italy, have discovered a fundamental biological mechanism that ...

This finding, he suggests, helps link the study of cell death in the worm and oncogenesis in people. "There were a number of papers that had suggested a relationship between cell death and oncogenesis ...

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 ...

Cells can be programmed like a computer to fight cancer, influenza, and other serious conditions - thanks to a breakthrough in synthetic biology by the University of Warwick. Led by Professor Alfonso ...

This review highlights the critical role of ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) in regulating programmed cell death (PCD) in breast cancer (BC). As the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, BC ...

Selective ASO-based JAK2 inhibitor for the treatment of hematological malignancies with JAK2 V617F mutation burden. Use of causal modeling to uncover cell-cell communication dynamics in the tumor ...

Researchers have discovered how to block cells dying, in a finding that could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The team at WEHI, including ...

Different types of programmed cell death. This picture summarizes the different pathways of programmed cell death (Note: ROS: reactive oxygen species). By unveiling the complex interactions between ...
