Apoptosis and autophagy constitute the two self-destructive processes by which supernumerary, damaged or aged cells and organelles are eliminated. Beyond this homeostatic function, autophagy is ...

Alcon, co-author of the study and researcher at the UB's Department of Biomedicine, states, "Most cancer therapies that are used to fight cancer activate the process of apoptosis—a type of programmed ...

Researchers identified two anoikis-related genes linked with CTEPH, and that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or treatment ...

The latest findings on the interaction between cell death and cellular senescence in cancer and their pathophysiological significance have been reviewed.

After treating a tumour with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cells known as senescent cells can appear. These are cells that do not divide, are involved in the ageing process and are resistant to cell ...

Danés, principal investigator of the Cancer and Stem Cell Biology Lab at the Champalimaud Foundation, in Lisbon, has shown ...

"Who are you?" This question, in its many variations, is almost inevitable in school applications, job interviews or introspective moments. We spend years, perhaps our entire lives, unraveling the ...

Evasion of cell death is a hallmark of cancer cells that enables them to overcome endogenous barriers to cancer development ...

"Most cancer therapies that are used to fight cancer activate the process of apoptosis—a type of programmed cell death—which is controlled by the BCL-2 family of proteins. "Therefore ...
