Scientists at UT Southwestern in Dallas say they have finally nailed down the human protein that makes cells literally burst ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a form of inflammatory programmed cell death called necroptosis. Their ...

A study by the Mildred Scheel Early Career Center group led by Dr. Mohamed Elgendy at the TUD Faculty of Medicine provides ...

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 ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

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 ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
