Proteotoxic Stress and Cell Death in Cancer Cells
To maintain proteostasis, cells must integrate information and activities that supervise protein synthesis, protein folding, conformational stability, and also protein degradation. Extrinsic and intrinsic conditions can both impact on normal proteostasis, causing the appearance of proteotoxic stress.

Cell Death in the Origin and Treatment of Cancer [PDF]
Cell death, or, more specifically, cell suicide, is a process of fundamental importance to human health. Throughout our lives, over a million cells are produced every second. When organismal growth has stopped, to balance cell division, a similar number of cells must be removed.

Immunogenic cell death in cancer immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy has been acknowledged as a new paradigm for cancer treatment, with notable therapeutic effects on certain cancer types. Despite their significant potential, clinical studies over the past decade have revealed that cancer immunotherapy has low response rates in the majority of solid tumors.

Zinc Finger Transcription Factor MZF1—A Specific Regulator of Cancer Invasion
Over 90% of cancer deaths are due to cancer cells metastasizing into other organs. Invasion is a prerequisite for metastasis formation. Thus, inhibition of invasion can be an efficient way to prevent disease progression in these patients.

Trial watch: Immunogenic cell death induction by anticancer chemotherapeutics
The expression “immunogenic cell death” (ICD) refers to a functionally unique form of cell death that facilitates (instead of suppressing) a T cell-dependent immune response specific for dead cell-derived antigens. ICD critically relies on the activation

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential
Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane.

Degradation of Bcl-2 by XIAP and ARTS Promotes Apoptosis
Summary: We describe a mechanism by which the anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) protein is downregulated to induce apoptosis. ARTS (Sept4_i2) is a tumor suppressor protein that promotes cell death through specifically antagonizing XIAP (X-linked ...

Autophagy is essential to endothelial cell homeostasis. Here the authors show that lipophagy in LEC supports fatty acid oxidation to sustain a mitochondrial-Prox1 gene expression circuit and promote response of LEC to lymphangiogenic mediators.
