A new review published in EXO – Beyond the Cell (EXO) examines growing evidence that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of ...
In response to stress or damage, cells undergo senescence and stop dividing. However, if senescent cells accumulate in ...
A newly identified cell type in planarian flatworms can detonate itself and destroy neighboring cells in less than two ...
Ferroptosis is a recently described type of regulated necrotic cell death whose induction has anti-cancer therapeutic potential, especially in hematological malignancies. However, efforts to uncover ...
Root hairs are tubular tip-growing extensions of root epidermal cells that enhance root surface area for water and nutrient acquisition. While the mechanisms governing root hair fate, polarity and tip ...
Researchers have discovered how to block cells dying, in a finding that could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The team has identified a small ...
Dubbed “ruptoblasts,” hormonal triggers cause these cells to detonate and wipe out the surrounding cells within minutes. Although flatworms are distant relatives of humans, this finding could inspire ...
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 ...
