Cancer-killing T cells have been programmed to have two levels of specificity. First, the T cells have been equipped with a receptor sensitive to a protein that is found only in central nervous system ...

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 ...

A new study identifies an extreme but effective way that brain immune cells can prevent the parasite Toxoplasma gondii from ...

Cells have the remarkable ability to initiate their own death through a mechanism called programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. Apoptosis contains sophisticated signalling pathways and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper explores the potential of mitochondrial-associated programmed-cell-death (mtPCD) patterns as biomarkers for predicting the prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is the most ...

New basic science insights into programmed cell death could offer relief for inflammatory bowel disease. Many people with IBD, an umbrella term that includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, ...

The latest findings on the interaction between cell death and cellular senescence in cancer and their pathophysiological significance have been reviewed. Aging cells secrete substances known to ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory structures responsible for converting sound into brain signals. The discovery ...
