Apoptosis is an ordered and orchestrated cellular process that occurs in physiological and
pathological conditions. It is also one of the most studied topics among cell biologists. An …

Maintenance of circulating, functional neutrophils and their robust recruitment to tissues in
response to injury and/or microbial infection are crucial for host defense. Equally important …

We describe here the use of the xCELLigence system for label-free and real-time monitoring
of cell viability. The xCELLigence system uses specially designed microtiter plates …

Cisplatin (DDP)-based adjuvant chemotherapy is widely used for the treatment of
esophageal cancer. However, DDP resistance has become more common and thus new …

The microenvironment of cancer plays a very critical role in the survival, proliferation and
drug resistance of solid tumors. Here, we report an interesting, acidic cancer …

As large quantities of novel synthetic molecules continue to be generated there is a
challenge to identify therapeutic agents with cytotoxic activity. Here we introduce a …

Macroautophagy (herein referred to as autophagy) constitutes a phylogenetically old
mechanism leading to the lysosomal degradation of cytoplasmic structures. At baseline …

Programmed cell death is a key component of tissue homeostasis, normal development and
wide variety of diseases. Conventional view refers to programmed cell death form as …

Programmed cell death (PCD) describes a small number of processes that result in a highly
controlled, and organised, form of cellular destruction, activated in every part of the plant …

Mitochondria play a central role in cell survival and cell death. While producing the bulk of
intracellular ATP, mitochondrial respiration represents the most prominent source of harmful …
