When programmed cell death does not work right, cells that should be eliminated may linger around and become immortal - for example, in cancer and leukemia.

Programmed cell death is a mechanism that causes defective and potentially harmful cells to destroy themselves. It serves a number of purposes in the body, including the prevention of malignant ...

There are several programmed cell death pathways that lead to cellular self-destruction, either for developmental processes, tissue maintenance, or stress responses. These include apoptosis, ...

Certain bacteria can override a defense mechanism of the immune system, so called programmed cell death, through inhibition of death effector molecules by their outer membranes components.

A preclinical study at the University of Cologne could open up new treatment options for STING-associated vasculopathy with ...

Researchers use magnets to cause programmed cancer cell deaths (Phys.org)—A team of researchers in South Korea has developed a method to cause cell death in both living fish and lab bowel cancer ...

To be able to multiply, bacteria that cause diarrhoea block mediators of programmed cell death, a new study in 'Nature Microbiology' shows.

This finding not only clarifies a long-standing question in cell biology of how necroptosis is activated, but also links programmed cell death to the origins of severe inflammatory diseases.

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 ...

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 ...
