Until recently, deciding whether cell death in cell culture occurs through apoptosis or non-apoptosis (ie necrosis) has been reminiscent of the medieval debate regarding the number of angels that ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

Listen in as our scientific expert, Miriam Ferrer, Ph.D, reviews tips and techniques to help you easily distinguish what type of cell death is present in your experiment, including morphological ...

Unlike apoptosis, necrosis strongly signals the immune system to target and clean up the remains of the dying cells, Shapiro said.

Researchers assess the probability of T-cell apoptosis in patients with severe COVID-19 who were admitted to the hospital.

Since the time of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, cancer has been recognized as being sensitive to heat. Today, this principle forms the basis of hyperthermia treatment—a promising cancer ...

In a cell, death is akin to falling dominoes: One death-inducing molecule activates another, and so on, until the entire cell is shut down, a new study finds.

The novel RealTime-Glo™ Annexin V Apoptosis and Necrosis Assay from Promega is explained here. The method offers the ease of an add-mix-measure method in a real-time and live-cell format.

Blocking the action of caspases stops apoptosis, but in some cases is not enough to prevent the cell's death. Instead, the cell self-destructs through a type of necrosis.

One of the defining characteristics of cancer cells is that they systematically prevent programmed cell death (apoptosis), with which the body guards itself against the proliferation of defective ...
