When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" ...

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 ...

Scientists are hoping to treat diseases including cancer and Alzheimer's by influencing how cells make life-or-death ...

In the fight against disease, programmed cell death – also known as apoptosis – is a key protective function of the body. It breaks down cells that are damaged or have undergone dangerous changes.

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 ...

A team of researchers at the University of Cologne's Center for Biochemistry, together with the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome, Italy, have discovered a fundamental biological mechanism that ...

A collaborative research group has developed a novel therapeutic candidate that may improve the prognosis of severe cutaneous ...
