A newly identified weakness in “zombie” cells may open the door to more precise cancer treatments by turning their own ...

How does blood age? A new study identifies the MLKL protein as a non-lethal driver of hematopoietic stem cell aging via ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected mechanism that links age-related stress to the decline of blood-forming stem cells.

Senescent cells walk a tightrope, risking cell death with high levels of iron and other damaging agents, but compensating for this by overproducing a protective protein, GPX4, which staves off death.

Our cells are constantly making life-or-death choices, guided by intricate molecular pathways like apoptosis. This highly regulated self-destruct program keeps us healthy, but when it’s blocked or ...

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, ...

Most neurons that die in Alzheimer’s disease do not simply starve or get smothered by amyloid plaques. According to a study ...

As the brain ages, it loses cells. Researchers have predominantly focused on the effects of cell death in brain areas responsible for cognition, but the cerebellum, most well-known for coordinating ...
