Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate, becoming essentially a zombie cell.

Cells in our body are programmed to die after a certain period of time—a natural process known as apoptosis or “cell suicide.” This process is essential for maintaining the body’s balance. When aged ...

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 ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

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 ...

After cells die, they leave a residue that sends messages to other cells in ways that are valuable to the immune system. But this process can also be hijacked by viruses such as influenza, according ...

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 ...
