Apoptosis has been recognized as a type of programmed cell death connected with
characteristic morphological and biochemical changes in cells. This programmed cell death …

Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells release small, phospholipid-enclosed vesicles into
their environment. Why do cells release vesicles? Initial studies showed that eukaryotic …

The use of photothermal agents (PTAs) in cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) has shown
promising results in clinical studies. The rapid degradation of PTAs may address safety …

Nanocatalytic medicine has been developed recently to trigger intratumoral generation of
highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for cancer therapy, which, unfortunately, suffers …

Apoptosis is a genetically regulated cell suicide programme mediated by activation of the
effector caspases 3, 6 and 7. If apoptotic cells are not scavenged, they progress to a lytic and …

Background Recently, the use of nanotechnology has been expanding very rapidly in
diverse areas of research, such as consumer products, energy, materials, and medicine …

Cells exposed to extreme physicochemical or mechanical stimuli die in an uncontrollable
manner, as a result of their immediate structural breakdown. Such an unavoidable variant of …

This study reports the in vitro cytotoxic effect of biologically synthesized silver and gold
nanoparticles against MDA-MB-231, human breast cancer cells. Formation of silver and gold …

Apoptosis is characterised by a series of typical morphological features, such as shrinkage
of the cell, fragmentation into membrane-bound apoptotic bodies and rapid phagocytosis by …

▪ Abstract Apoptosis is a genetically programmed, morphologically distinct form of cell death
that can be triggered by a variety of physiological and pathological stimuli. Studies …
