The aim of immunotherapy strategies is to leverage cells in the patient's own immune system to destroy tumor cells. Using a preclinical model, scientists from the Institut Pasteur and Inserm ...

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

When tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in protein expression. Inducing apoptosis in cancer cells has become a major focus ...

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 ...

Viruses like the flu may spread around the body by hijacking the “footprint of death” left behind by self-destructing cells. This discovery out of La Trobe University and the Walter and Eliza Hall ...

In an extensive review, researchers explore ZBP1-mediated programmed cell death and its potential as a therapeutic target for systemic diseases Programmed cell death, or PCD, is an actively regulated ...
