Long before memory problems appear, your brain may already be losing neurons. That is the unsettling message from new work by ...

University of Pittsburgh scientists are unlocking the complexities of a recently discovered cell death process that plays a key role in health and disease, and new findings link their discovery to ...

Recent scientific breakthroughs suggest that manipulating a hidden “death switch” in our cells could significantly slow the aging process. This discovery, coupled with findings that caffeine can ...

Groundbreaking research revealed that many genes in mice, zebrafish, and humans actually become more active after clinical death. This suggests that we need to redefine death, because it’s not a ...

The field of sepsis research has advanced significantly in recent years, particularly regarding the interplay between immune responses and multiple forms of ...

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our skin tissue—and in fact many types of epithelial tissue that lines and covers the ...

Scientists suggest death may not be biologically final at the cellular level. Research shows cells can enter a “third state ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

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