New basic science insights into programmed cell death could offer relief for inflammatory bowel disease. Many people with IBD, an umbrella term that includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, ...

In the fight against disease, programmed cell death – also known as apoptosis – is a key protective function of the body. It breaks down cells that are damaged or have undergone dangerous changes.

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 ...

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 at WEHI, including ...
