Evolution of apoptosis-like programmed cell death in unicellular protozoan parasites [PDF]
, 2011 Apoptosis-like programmed cell death (PCD) has recently been described in multiple taxa of unicellular protists, including the protozoan parasites Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and Leishmania.

Generation of Tumour-stroma Minispheroids for Drug Efficacy Testing
Bio-Protocol, 2017 The three-dimensional organisation of cells in a tissue and their interaction with adjacent cells and extracellular matrix is a key determinant of cellular responses, including how tumour cells respond to stress conditions or therapeutic drugs (Elliott ...

Apoptosis and carcinogenesis [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 1997 Many tumours are characterised by increased levels of apoptosis. This observation establishes significance for this process in tumour development, but it does little to elucidate the nature of this role, nor does it yield information relevant to the early stages of carcinogenesis.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Communications BiologyMyoblast fusion is essential for skeletal muscle growth and repair, yet the upstream signals regulating this process remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that the cytokine TWEAK promotes myotube formation through activation of alternative NF-κB ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Tissues contain diverse cell populations that, together, make up physiologically functional units. A remarkable example is the animal epidermis, where neuronal and non-neuronal cells intermingle to allow somatosensory perception.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Investigating the evolution of apoptosis in malaria parasites: the importance of ecology [PDF]
, 2010 Apoptosis is a precisely regulated process of cell death which occurs widely in multicellular organisms and is essential for normal development and immune defences.

Cell Death and DiseaseSmac mimetic compounds (SMCs) are small molecule drugs that sensitize cancer cells to TNF-α-induced cell death and have multiple immunostimulatory effects through alterations in NF-κB signaling.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
