Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the ...

For the first time, researchers at Umeå University have observed the same type of programmed cell death in microalgae as in humans. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, shows that this ...

Scientists are hoping to treat diseases including cancer and Alzheimer's by influencing how cells make life-or-death ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

The delicate balance between cell death and regeneration is crucial for human health and longevity. Most mechanisms involved in programmed cell death (PCD) play a key role in normal tissue renewal and ...

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

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 ...
