Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

In a human body, cells are constantly making life-or-death decisions. If they make the wrong choice, the result can be cancer. It may be possible to treat diseases by influencing this behavior. In the ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a sugar compound from deep-sea bacteria that can destroy cancer cells in a dramatic way. This natural substance, produced by microbes living in the ocean, causes cancer ...

In an extensive review, researchers explore ZBP1-mediated programmed cell death and its potential as a therapeutic target for systemic diseases Programmed cell death, or PCD, is an actively regulated ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in protein expression. Inducing apoptosis in cancer cells has become a major focus ...

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.
