In multicellular organisms, the total number of cells is a balance between the cell-generating effects of mitosis and cell death that is induced through apoptosis. A disruption of this delicate ...

In Ming-Chiu Fung’s immunology lab, Hogan had been investigating how disturbances in the cytoskeletons of cells might contribute to the fragmentation of mitochondria during apoptosis, the most ...

A variety of factors can trigger cell death in a tissue. For example, the process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, selectively removes damaged cells — including those with DNA damage or ...

A recent study by the Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research (HITBR) at the Central Institute of Mental Health ...

A person with neuroblastoma, which occurs when developing nerve cells in children turn cancerous, has remained tumour-free for over 18 years thanks to CAR T-cell therapy ...

To do so, Lehmann screened 5,500 fly lines for gene expression in the ventral nerve cord ... blocked the hormone signaling in the cells. Beat-Va M remodeling was unaffected, but this blockade ...

Unlike other forms of cell death, necroptosis shares features of both apoptosis (natural cell breakdown ... In an in vitro model mimicking optic nerve damage, RGCs exposed to oxygen-glucose ...

In laboratory tests mimicking optic nerve damage ... key proteins involved in cell death pathways, reducing the expression of markers associated with apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis.
