Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a form of inflammatory programmed cell death called necroptosis. Their ...

When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" as part of an antimicrobial response. This response also plays a role in ...

Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a cell surface protein that binds to the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) receptor on T lymphocytes, acting as a critical checkpoint in immune tolerance. In ...

Death-Associated Protein Kinases (DAPKs) are a family of calcium/calmodulin‐regulated serine/threonine kinases that occupy central positions in the control of programmed cell death. The archetypal ...

Researchers at Umeå University have contributed new insights into how cancer cells protect themselves from cell death. The study provides a deeper understanding of how key proteins interact within the ...
