Listen in as our scientific expert, Miriam Ferrer, Ph.D, reviews tips and techniques to help you easily distinguish what type of cell death is present in your experiment, including morphological ...

Avascular necrosis remains a threat for children with femoral neck fractures, but research suggests that age and fracture type may help identify high-risk patients. In a review of 24 institutional ...

Plasma membrane is central for homeostatic maintenance in mammalian cells. It is a direct barrier against extracellular environment; it harbors protein sensors and receptors transducing extracellular ...

In a prospective study of rhesus monkeys inoculated with Plasmodium coatneyi or saline on an infection/ gestational timeline, we determined the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), soluble ...

Avascular necrosis is the breakdown and death of bone tissue due to insufficient blood supply. It’s a common complication of sickle cell disease, but early diagnosis and treatment can help slow ...

Heat-induced increase of membrane fluidity is suppressed by cholesterol, preventing membrane disruption. Thus, cholesterol-rich cells are resistant to heat-induced necrosis, and cholesterol depletion ...

Since the time of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, cancer has been recognized as being sensitive to heat. Today, this principle forms the basis of hyperthermia treatment—a promising cancer ...

Hyperthermia, a cancer treatment using controlled heat to kill tumor cells, shows promise but faces limitations due to some tumor cells' unexpected heat resistance. Researchers from Japan have now ...
