Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate, becoming essentially a zombie cell.

For decades, scientists have known that a misbehaving protein sits at the heart of Parkinson’s disease, yet the precise chain ...

The editor invite submissions of original biological and clinical research focusing on the finely-tuned control of non-immune ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

Chemotherapy used to target and kill bladder cancer cells may trigger an inflammatory response that ultimately may make the cancer more resistant to treatment, according to new research from ...

Discover the challenges of acute myeloid leukaemia linked to inflammatory cell death and the quest for effective therapies.

Researchers have discovered a novel method that viruses use to move around the body. These findings could help scientists develop better treatments for viral infections, some of which can lay dormant ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...

When cancer cells die, macrophages consume them and produce inflammatory cytokines. This activates JAK and STAT proteins in living cancer cells, enabling them to produce their own Upd3 and creating a ...
