Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed cell death and can occur in different forms, including apoptosis and ...

The activation and deactivation of apoptosis is a promising field of research in basic biomedical research. The team led by Prof. Franz Hagn from the Chair of Structural Membrane Biochemistry at the ...

Conventional cancer drugs work by triggering apoptosis, that is programmed cell death, in tumor cells. However, tumor cells have the ability to develop strategies to escape apoptosis, rendering the ...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains one of the deadliest complications of severe infections, sepsis, trauma, ...

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 ...

Dead cells after self-destructing, with the small green circles showing the F-ApoEVs left behind. (La Trobe University) The ...

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 ...

Regulated cell death represents a dynamic field at the intersection of molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell signaling.

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Nano, how proteins in cells can be controllably activated through heating, an effect that can be used ...

How can molecular structures be analysed when the resolution of the techniques available is not sufficient? Researchers from the fields of physics, chemistry and medicine at Heinrich Heine University ...
