Impaired mitophagy and the accumulation of damaged mitochondria are key drivers of endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction in ...

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a tightly regulated biological process necessary for normal tissue maintenance and development. However, aberrations in apoptotic signaling networks are ...

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 ...

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 ...

After cells die, they leave a residue that sends messages to other cells in ways that are valuable to the immune system. But this process can also be hijacked by viruses such as influenza, according ...

Our cells are constantly making life-or-death choices, guided by intricate molecular pathways like apoptosis. This highly regulated self-destruct program keeps us healthy, but when it’s blocked or ...
