Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains one of the deadliest complications of severe infections, sepsis, trauma, ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship to help protect their larger host organisms. The building blocks required ...

Regulated cell death represents a dynamic field at the intersection of molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell signaling.

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 cells activate the signal but then resist the ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

Apoptosis is a process in which cells die off, intentionally. This programmed cell death pathway helps eliminate billions of cells every day, most of which are blood or gut cells, so they can be ...
