A review in Molecular Biology Reports describes how pro-inflammatory forms of regulated cell death, including ferroptosis, ...

Researchers identified molecular switches that push cancer cells into senescence and evade chemotherapy, offering potential ...

PANoptosis is an integrated form of programmed cell death (PCD) that combines features of pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis. This review examines how the PANoptosome—a multiprotein platform built ...

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 ...

Bone cells called osteocytes help maintain skeletal strength, but how newly formed osteocytes survive remains unclear.

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Biobots could one day be engineered to deliver drugs and clear up arterial plaque. Kriegman et al. 2020/PNAS, CC BY-SA Life and ...

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 ...

Apoptosis is a process in which cells die off, intentionally. This programmed cell death pathway helps eliminate billions of cells every day, most of which are blood or gut cells, so they can be ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a "third state" that lies beyond the traditional ...
