Apoptosis Signal-Regulating Kinase 1 (ASK1) is a pivotal member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) family. It orchestrates cellular responses to a range of stressors—such as ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a tightly regulated biological process necessary for normal tissue maintenance and development. However, aberrations in apoptotic signaling networks are ...

As mere mortals, we know all too well that to live is to die—and the very same can be said for the smallest structural units of our bodies. But in the microscopic world of our cells, not all forms of ...

University of Utah researchers at the Pulst-Scoles Laboratory have discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Nano, how proteins in cells can be controllably activated through heating, an effect that can be used ...
