Two junior research groups at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have developed a drug complex that kills cancer cells in such ...

Chemotherapy used to target and kill bladder cancer cells may trigger an inflammatory response that ultimately may make the ...

The delicate balance between cell death and regeneration is crucial for human health and longevity. Most mechanisms involved in programmed cell death (PCD) play a key role in normal tissue renewal and ...

Stroke is said to be the second leading cause of death worldwide after heart disease. To prevent the death of neurons in the ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

In a cell, death is akin to falling dominoes: One death-inducing molecule activates another, and so on, until the entire cell is shut down, a new study finds. Inside a cell, death often occurs ...

Cell death pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans are summarized by Sendoel and Hengartner in the third chapter. The organism that pointed towards molecular players involved in cell death has proven ...
