In multicellular organisms, the total number of cells is a balance between the cell-generating effects of mitosis and cell death that is induced through apoptosis. A disruption of this delicate ...
New research shows how glucose restriction in tumors protects cancer cells from chemotherapy by preserving pyrimidines and preventing apoptosis, offering insights into treatment strategies.
The universal “fuel source” for cellular activity is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). If the ATP in the mitochondria drops sharply, a protein important for apoptosis, known as cytochrome c, remains ...
