Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown feature of cell death that reshapes how the immune system identifies and ...

Scientists at La Trobe University have discovered a previously unknown way viruses could spread around the body, potentially paving the way for more effective drug development. The research, published ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call nucleocytosis that directly ties cell death to antiviral signaling. The work, ...

After cells die, they leave a residue that sends messages to other cells in ways that are valuable to the immune system. But this process can also be hijacked by viruses such as influenza, according ...

The controlled activation of cell death pathways triggers an acute, transient inflammatory response that, combined with the efficient phagocytosis of dead cells, ultimately restores tissue homeostasis ...

Researchers have discovered a novel method that viruses use to move around the body. These findings could help scientists develop better treatments for viral infections, some of which can lay dormant ...

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 ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...

A precision cancer strategy that selectively kills tumour cells while leaving healthy tissue intact may be within reach for the majority of colorectal cancer patients, according to new research ...
