In a new study, researchers have identified a way to stop cells from dying, opening the door to developing treatments that ...

Australian researchers have discovered a molecule that may stop brain cell death linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Indigenous Nigerian food plants show promise in fighting cancer by targeting cell death and inflammation, offering support ...

In multicellular organisms, the total number of cells is a balance between the cell-generating effects of mitosis and cell death that is induced through apoptosis. A disruption of this delicate ...

In addition to apoptosis, scientists have proposed more than 20 other regulated forms of cell death. Increasingly, researchers find some of these other kinds of cell death are also reversible. In ...

In Ming-Chiu Fung’s immunology lab, Hogan had been investigating how disturbances in the cytoskeletons of cells might contribute to the fragmentation of mitochondria during apoptosis, the most ...

In humans, apoptosis occurs during early development to eliminate unwanted cells, such as those between the fingers of a ...

Our findings demonstrate that mitochondria dynamics do not regulate apoptosis activation in C. elegans and reveal distinct roles for drp-1 and fis-2 as mediators of cell-death execution downstream of ...

Programmed or not, cell death is an essential process that cancer is adept at avoiding. “Most therapies are designed to kill tumour cells through apoptosis,” says Boyi Gan, who studies the ...

The ability of a mutation to cause cancer depends on how fast it forces cells to divide, according to a new study led by researchers at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute (LTRI), Sinai Health ...

The use of mimicking antibodies that activate death receptors (DRs) to selectively induce cell death in cancer cells has ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. Their study in fruit flies, which first appeared in eLife as a ...
