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 ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

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 ...

Researchers at LMU University Hospital have discovered a new molecular switch that protects against cell death. Programmed cell death protects the body against cancer and other diseases. A team of ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in ...

Programmed cell-death (or PCD) is death of a cell in any form, mediated by an intracellular program. In contrast to necrosis, which is a form of cell-death that results from acute tissue injury and ...

A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die.

Researchers from the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan and international partners have reported a novel infrared DNA and RNA imaging technique that tracks all stages of cell ...

There are several programmed cell death pathways that lead to cellular self-destruction, either for developmental processes, tissue maintenance, or stress responses. These include apoptosis, ...
