The team worked for 10 years to uncover the hidden brain-cell death process fueling several dementias, revealing a key new drug target.

Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University have identified ferroptosis, an iron-driven form of cell death, in ...

Researchers have identified a new cell death process called 'karyoptosis'. This process involves harmful proteins building up ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked mechanism of brain cell death that appears to play a major role in ...

Scientists have identified a previously unrecognized form of cell death that appears to contribute to Alzheimer's disease and ...

Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed cell death and can occur in different forms, including apoptosis and ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers" of cells—during the process of cell death. The discovery sheds light on ...

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 programmed cell ...

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, ...

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 ...
