Researchers have discovered that the protein HERC4 acts as the critical molecular switch that converts TNF survival ...

A new case-control study finds that serum markers of ferroptosis, including ACSL4, MDA and ROS, are elevated in vitiligo ...

An international research team has discovered a previously unknown mechanism that plays a key role in the signaling pathways ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study reveals some surprising discoveries about healing processes that are potentially triggered by the process of necrosis, ...

Epithelial cells seal the outer surface of an early embryo, and a protein complex best known for gluing them to one another turns out to be the tool they use to clear away neighbours that are dying.

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 review examines adipocyte ferroptosis, the breakdown of fat cells due to oxidation from intracellular iron, as an ...

This suggests that immune cells may intentionally access nuclear DNA from dying cells as part of regulated immune signaling processes. Such extracted nuclear DNA could act as molecular messengers, ...

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 ...

When cells are about to die, they send signals that trigger proteins which are supposed to destroy them, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Some cells activate the signal but then resist the ...

The thymus is essential for producing the T cells that protect us from infections and cancer. But this organ is also highly sensitive to damage. Treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and ...
