Trial watch: Immunogenic cell death induction by anticancer chemotherapeutics
OncoImmunology, 2017 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

Macrophage biology plays a central role during ionizing radiation-elicited tumor response
Biomedical Journal, 2017 Radiation therapy is one of the major therapeutic modalities for most solid tumors. The anti-tumor effect of radiation therapy consists of the direct tumor cell killing, as well as the modulation of tumor microenvironment and the activation of immune ...

Ferroptosis: friend or foe in cancer immunotherapy?
OncoImmunology, 2023 Ferroptosis has gained interest due to it immunogenicity and the higher sensitivity of cancer cells to it. However, it was recently shown that ferroptosis in tumor-associated neutrophils leads to immunosuppression and negatively impacts therapy. Here, we

Kinetic Monte Carlo study of the type1/type 2 choice in apoptosis elucidates selective killing of cancer cells under death ligand induction [PDF]
OJApo 4 (2015) 22-39, 2015 Death ligand mediated apoptotic activation is a mode of programmed cell death that is widely used in cellular and physiological situations. Interest in studying death ligand induced apoptosis has increased due to the promising role of recombinant soluble forms of death ligands (mainly recombinant TRAIL) in anti-cancer therapy.

The convergence of radiation and immunogenic cell death signaling pathways. [PDF]
, 2012 Ionizing radiation (IR) triggers programmed cell death in tumor cells through a variety of highly regulated processes. Radiation-induced tumor cell death has been studied extensively in vitro and is widely attributed to multiple distinct mechanisms ...

Sorafenib fails to trigger ferroptosis across a wide range of cancer cell lines
Cell Death and Disease, 2021 Sorafenib, a protein kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and advanced renal cell carcinoma, has been repeatedly reported to induce ferroptosis by possibly involving inhibition of the cystine/glutamate antiporter, known

Bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis by increasing the time-to-death and intrinsic cell-to-cell variations in the mitochondrial pathway of cell death [PDF]
Apoptosis (2010), 2010 BH3 mimetics have been proposed as new anticancer therapeutics. They target anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, up-regulation of which has been implicated in the resistance of many cancer cells, particularly leukemia and lymphoma cells, to apoptosis. Using probabilistic computational modeling of the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, verified by single ...

Deletion of AIF1 but not of YCA1/MCA1 protects Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans cells from caspofungin-induced programmed cell death [PDF]
, 2014 Caspofungin was the first member of a new class of antifungals called echinocandins to be approved by a drug regulatory authority. Like the other echinocandins, caspofungin blocks the synthesis of β(1,3)-D-glucan of the fungal cell wall by inhibiting the

Strategies for vascularization in kidney organoids [PDF]
Organoid, 2022 The establishment of protocols for differentiating kidney organoids from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has potential for the application of kidney organoids in regenerative medicine. However, the primary obstacle to the regenerative application of

Compensatory Proliferation Induced by Cell Death in the Drosophila Wing Disc Requires Activity of the Apical Cell Death Caspase Dronc in a Nonapoptotic Role [PDF]
, 2004 Achieving proper organ size requires a balance between proliferation and cell death. For example, at least 40%–60% of cells in the Drosophila wing disc can be lost, yet these discs go on to give rise to normal-looking adult wings as a result of ...
