Cancer-killing T cells have been programmed to have two levels of specificity. First, the T cells have been equipped with a receptor sensitive to a protein that is found only in central nervous system ...

This review highlights the critical role of ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) in regulating programmed cell death (PCD) in breast cancer (BC). As the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, BC ...

How did cells evolve a process to end their own lives? Recent research suggests that apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, first arose billions of years ago in bacteria with a primitive ...

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, ...

The field of sepsis research has advanced significantly in recent years, particularly regarding the interplay between immune responses and multiple forms of ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

In a human body, cells are constantly making life-or-death decisions. If they make the wrong choice, the result can be cancer. It may be possible to treat diseases by influencing this behavior. In the ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...
