Apoptosis or programmed cell death (PCD) is a physiological process critical for organ development, tissue homeostasis and elimination of defective or potentially dangerous cells in complex organisms.

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, ...

A study has uncovered that iron orchestrates the activation of two damaging cell death pathways—ferroptosis and ...

Can a drug that's used to treat malaria be repurposed to fight cancer? Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have ...

Sister cells are a pair of cells that share the same mother cell. In a new study published in Developmental Cell, researchers ...

Pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory type of programmed cell death, has garnered attention for its potential in cancer treatment.

Cancer arises when your cells grow uncontrollably and refuse to die when they should. Normally, your body is equipped with ...

Photoimmunotherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that combines phototherapy with immunotherapy to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. In ...

Developing low side-effect pyroptosis and ferroptosis inducers for cancer therapy, especially dual function inducers, is a challenging task. Toward this goal, Li et al. design a multifunctional ...
