The mere presence of a dead counterpart elicits strong responses across species. For example, many insects such as bees and ...

In a new study, researchers have identified a way to stop cells from dying, opening the door to developing treatments that ...

Researchers have discovered how to block cells dying, in a finding that could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative ...

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

An international study led by Paolo Fiorina from Boston Children's Hospital and in collaboration with researchers from the ...

Measuring the density of a cell can reveal a great deal about the cell's state. As cells proliferate, differentiate, or undergo cell death, they may gain or lose water and other molecules, which is ...

The molecule acts on a protein called BAX, which is central to the process of killing cells by targeting their mitochondria — ...

Roughly 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer over their lifetimes, according to the American Cancer Society—and for the year 2024, it was estimated that more than 300,000 women ...

Ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death mediated by iron, has been a focus for its potential in cancer therapies. Now, researchers have discovered that lysosomal lipid peroxidation plays a ...

The team at WEHI, including researchers from the Parkinson’s Disease Research Centre, have identified a small molecule that can selectively block cell death. Published in Science Advances, the ...

Scientists have discovered how iron in lysosomes can induce ferroptosis, offering a new route to target treatment-resistant ...
