Cancer’s deadliest talent is not rapid growth but the ability to sidestep the internal programs that should make damaged cells self-destruct. Across multiple labs, researchers are now converging on a ...
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 ...
The field of cancer biology has recently recognized the significance of immunogenic cell death (ICD), a process by which dying cells emit alarm ...
In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, published in Cell, ...
In a new study, researchers have identified a way to stop cells from dying, opening the door to developing treatments that slow the progression of neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease ...
Illustration of a healthy cell (left) alongside a cell that has been affected by necrosis (right). The process of necrosis, a form of cell death, may represent one of the most promising ways to change ...
