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.

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

When tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as compensatory proliferation. Nearly 50 years after this survival strategy was first ...

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 ...

The emergence of cancer drug resistance remains one of the most pressing problems in cancer care and there is a critical need to devise approaches to mitigate it. However, the molecular mechanisms ...

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 ...
