The orderly demise of a certain proportion of cells is therefore necessary for normal tissue turnover and maintenance of homeostasis. Apoptosis is distinct from necrosis, a messier form of cell ...

unlike the planned cell death called apoptosis that's a healthy part of the biological cycle. When studying necrosis in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster, well known for their regenerative ...

Cells use a variety of programmed cell death mechanisms to maintain homeostasis through cellular self-destruction, including apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis. Elina is a PhD candidate at the ...

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 ...

A new study has identified a potential new therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis that could shorten the length of treatment and ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. Their study in fruit flies, which first appeared in eLife as a ...

In a Johns Hopkins Children’s Center study, the addition of navitoclax to the standard TB treatment significantly increased ...
