University of Pittsburgh scientists are unlocking the complexities of a recently discovered cell death process that plays a key role in health and disease, and new findings link their discovery to ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

In Alzheimer's, brain cells die too soon. In cancer, dangerous cells don't die soon enough. That's because both diseases alter the way cells decide when to end their lives, a process called programmed ...

How does blood age? A new study identifies the MLKL protein as a non-lethal driver of hematopoietic stem cell aging via ...

Our cells are constantly making life-or-death choices, guided by intricate molecular pathways like apoptosis. This highly ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the “energy producers” of cells—during the process of cell death. The discovery sheds light on ...

A KAIST research team has identified the real reason why anticancer drugs kill cancer cells—targeted anticancer therapies do ...
