BACKGROUND/AIM: Heavy-ion irradiation seriously perturbs cellular homeostasis and thus damages cells. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) play an important role in the pathological process of radiation damage. Protecting ECs from heavy-ion radiation is ...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have unveiled disulfidptosis as a phenomenon intimately associated with cellular damage, heralding new avenues for exploring tumor cell dynamics. We aimed to explore the impact of disulfide cell death on the tumor immune mi...
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a serious threat to health, with limited effective therapeutic options, especially due to advanced stage at diagnosis and its inherent resistance to chemotherapy, making it one of the leadin...
Cell mechanotransduction signals are important targets for physical therapy. However, current physiotherapy heavily relies on ultrasound, which is generated by high-power equipment or amplified by auxiliary drugs, potentially causing undesired side e...
Apoptosis : an international journal on programmed cell death

The mortality and therapeutic failure in cutaneous melanoma (CM) are mainly caused by wide metastasis and chemotherapy resistance. Meanwhile, immunotherapy is considered a crucial therapy strategy for CM patients. However, the efficiency of currently...
BACKGROUND: Identifying cells engaged in fundamental cellular processes, such as proliferation or living/death statuses, is pivotal across numerous research fields. However, prevailing methods relying on molecular biomarkers are constrained by high c...
Breast cancer (BC) is a common cancer for women. This study aims to construct a prognostic risk model of BC and identify prognostic biomarkers through machine learning approaches, and clarify the mechanism by which linalool exerts tumor-suppressive f...
OBJECTIVE: Although programmed cell death (PCD) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) are intrinsically conneted, the interplay among various PCD forms remains elusive. In this study, We aimed at identifying independently DN-associated PCD pathways and bioma...
The clustering of death receptors (DRs) at the membrane leads to apoptosis. With the goal of treating tumours, multivalent molecular tools that initiate this mechanism have been developed. However, DRs are also ubiquitously expressed in healthy tissu...
