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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die. Scientists have long known that mitochondria—a cell's tiny power plants—pull ...

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