Sphingolipids and cell death [PDF]
Apoptosis, 2007 Sphingolipids (SLs) have been considered for many years as predominant building blocks of biological membranes with key structural functions and little relevance in cellular signaling. However, this view has changed dramatically in recent years with the recognition that certain SLs such as ceramide, sphingosine 1-phosphate and gangliosides, participate

Reversal of an immunity associated plant cell death program by the growth regulator auxin [PDF]
, 2007 One form of plant immunity against pathogens involves a rapid host programmed cell death at the site of infection accompanied by resistance, termed the hypersensitive response (HR).

Oncogene, 2004 For many years apoptosis research has focused on caspases and their putative role as sole executioners of programmed cell death. Accumulating information now suggests that lysosomal cathepsins are also pivotally involved in this process, especially in pathological conditions.

How to target apoptosis signaling pathways for the treatment of pediatric cancers [PDF]
, 2013 Apoptosis represents one of the most important forms of cell death in higher organisms and is typically dysregulated in human cancers, including pediatric tumors.

The mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica colonizes Arabidopsis roots by inducing an endoplasmic reticulum stress-triggered caspase-dependent cell death [PDF]
, 2012 In Arabidopsis thaliana roots, the mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica initially colonizes living cells, which die as the colonization proceeds. We aimed to clarify the molecular basis of this colonization-associated cell death.

Targeting cellular calcium homeostasis to prevent cytokine-mediated beta cell death [PDF]
, 2017 Pro-inflammatory cytokines are important mediators of islet inflammation, leading to beta cell death in type 1 diabetes. Although alterations in both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytosolic free calcium levels are known to play a role in cytokine ...

echinus, required for interommatidial cell sorting and cell death in the Drosophila pupal retina, encodes a protein with homology to ubiquitin-specific proteases [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Programmed cell death is used to remove excess cells between ommatidia in the Drosophila pupal retina. This death is required to establish the crystalline, hexagonal packing of ommatidia that characterizes the adult fly eye.

Spatially and temporally defined lysosomal leakage facilitates mitotic chromosome segregation
Nature Communications, 2020 Lysosomes are intracellular organelles containing degradative enzymes, and leakage of lysosomal contents into the cell is thought to trigger cell death.
