When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Recent scientific breakthroughs suggest that manipulating a hidden “death switch” in our cells could significantly slow the aging process. This discovery, coupled with findings that caffeine can ...

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

Groundbreaking research revealed that many genes in mice, zebrafish, and humans actually become more active after clinical death. This suggests that we need to redefine death, because it’s not a ...

Fukuoka, Japan—The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that targeting a specific immune process ...

After treating a tumor with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cells known as senescent cells can appear. These are cells that do not divide, are involved in the aging process and are resistant to cell ...
