The emergence of cancer drug resistance remains one of the most pressing problems in cancer care and there is a critical need to devise approaches to mitigate it. However, the molecular mechanisms ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: When cells are about to die, they send signals that trigger proteins which are supposed to destroy them, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Some ...

In Alzheimer's, brain cells die too soon. In cancer, dangerous cells don't die soon enough. That's because both diseases alter the way cells decide when to end their lives, a process called programmed ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the “energy producers” of cells—during the process of cell death. The discovery sheds light on ...
