A study by the team of Prof. Kodi Ravichandran (VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) and colleagues found that pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death traditionally thought to be purely ...
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 ...
A new study has uncovered an unexpected way cancer cells can escape the immune system, making it harder for treatments to work. The study, published in Cancer Cell, explains how a type of cancer cell ...
When cells are about to die, they send signals that trigger proteins which are supposed to destroy them, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Some cells activate the signal but then resist the ...
When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" as part of an antimicrobial response. This response also plays a role in ...
The team worked for 10 years to uncover the hidden brain-cell death process fueling several dementias, revealing a key new ...
As tumors outgrow their blood and nutrient supplies, or respond to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, individual cancer cells die, exposing their internal scaffolds. These dead cells are ...
A common pathway to cancer is when a protein responsible for fixing DNA mutations is itself non-functional. [Getty Images] Many people know that the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do ...
Billions of cells die in your body every day. Some go out with a bang, others with a whimper. They can die by accident if they’re injured or infected. Alternatively, should they outlive their natural ...
