Entosis Allows Timely Elimination of the Luminal Epithelial Barrier for Embryo Implantation [PDF]
During implantation, uterine luminal epithelial (LE) cells first interact with the blastocyst trophectoderm. Within 30 hr after the initiation of attachment, LE cells surrounding the blastocyst in the implantation chamber (crypt) disappear, allowing ...

Entosis Acts as a Novel Way within Sertoli Cells to Eliminate Spermatozoa in Seminiferous Tubule [PDF]
The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that in vivo entosis is a novel pathway for eliminating spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules (ST) during hibernation of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle.

Identification and analysis of diverse cell death patterns in osteomyelitis via microarray-based transcriptome profiling and clinical data [PDF]
BackgroundOsteomyelitis (OM) is a debilitating infectious disease characterized by inflammation of the bone and bone marrow. Emerging evidence suggests that multiple forms of programmed cell death (PCD) contribute to its pathogenesis.

A Nonapoptotic Cell Death Process, Entosis, that Occurs by Cell-in-Cell Invasion [PDF]
SummaryEpithelial cells require attachment to extracellular matrix (ECM) to suppress an apoptotic cell death program termed anoikis. Here we describe a nonapoptotic cell death program in matrix-detached cells that is initiated by a previously ...

Cell hiding in colorectal cancer: correlation with response to chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Resistance to chemotherapy remains the main challenge for cancer treatment. One of the mechanisms of tumor escape from cytotoxic agents could be the formation of cell-in-cell (CIC) structures, in which the outer cell protects the inner cell from ...

The Multifaceted Role of Pyroptosis: Molecular Mechanisms, Crosstalk with Other Cell Death Pathways, and Therapeutic Implications. [PDF]
Pyroptosis maintains immune homeostasis by eliminating damaged or infected cells, but its dysregulation promotes inflammation and cancer progression. The diagram illustrates key activation pathways, links with other programmed cell deaths, and cancer‐specific effects, enhancing its dual protective and pathogenic roles.

Programmed Cell Death in Cancer. [PDF]
Cancer is one of the most common and lethal diseases globally, with programmed cell death (PCD) playing a pivotal role in its pathogenesis and treatment. This comprehensive review covers the origin, developmental trajectory, and mechanisms of various PCDs, as well as their molecular connections with cancers. Latest studies have increasingly highlighted

ROCK signaling is involved in the entosis of both nonepithelial and epithelial tumors, whereas N‑cadherin is involved in the entosis of nonepithelial tumors. [PDF]
Entosis is a cell-in-cell phenomenon wherein cells detaching from the extracellular matrix are internalized by a neighboring cell. The present study examined whether entosis, which is observed in epithelial cells, also occurs in nonepithelial cells. The present study used the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line as a positive control for entosis and compared ...
