When we consume foods containing sugar and starch, they are converted into energy in the body's cells through a process called glycolysis.

At the center of necrosis is calcium, a vital ion that, in effect, controls the "wiring" of a cell. Calcium determines which cellular functions are switched on or off with calcium ions normally ...

The process of necrosis, a form of cell death, may represent one of the most promising ways to change the course of human aging, disease and even space travel, according to a new study by ...

The process of necrosis, a form of cell death, may represent one of the most promising ways to change the course of human aging, disease and even space travel, according to a new study.

The authors explain how necrosis, a form of cell death historically viewed as an unregulated and terminal event, may in fact represent one of the most fundamental and targetable mechanisms driving ...

Vitamin D supplements might slow cellular aging by preventing the loss of telomeres, DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that shorten in old age, a new study suggests.

Tiny flashes of light from your cells may transform our understanding of mental health. The science of biophotons reveals a fascinating new frontier.

In necrosis, the integrity of the cell membrane swells and is lost altogether, causing the cellular contents to be released into the body and resulting in a significant inflammatory response.

Apoptosis is a genetically controlled form of cell death mediated by enzymes called caspases, and GluR1-induced necrosis is associated with two batches of apoptotic cells. The first batch is found at ...
