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 ...

UdeM reproductive biologist Greg FitzHarris and his team show for the first time that sister cells can communicate with each other through a bridge that allows them to die in a coordinated way.

Colon cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with poor dietary habits identified as a major risk factor.

This bridge between sister cells allows the exchange of molecules that promote apoptosis, the process of programmed cell death in which the body rids itself of unneeded cells. In humans ...

2). Note the biological activity for all three Apo2L/TRAIL preparations which were capable of inducing significant apoptosis in HaCaT cells—even as low as a concentration of 50 ng/ml.

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 ...

New research shows how sister cells communicate to coordinate cell death in mouse embryos, removing defective or unneeded ...

Biomass burning-whether from wildfires, wood stoves or agricultural fires-sends massive amounts of tiny particles and ...

A new review article published in Genes & Diseases sheds light on the complex molecular mechanisms through which ...

New research has found that smoke from the burning that has gone through a chemical aging process is more harmful to lung ...

The intrinsic factor of cell senescence, PCBP2, was identified by unlabeled quantitative proteomics, and its biological role in in vitro replication senescence of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal ...
