Apoptotic cell death is executed by the caspase-mediated cleavage of various vital proteins.
Elucidating the consequences of this endoproteolytic cleavage is crucial for our …

Poly (ADP-ribosylation) is a post-translational modification of proteins playing a crucial role
in many processes, including DNA repair and cell death. The best known poly (ADP …

The term apoptosis often has been used interchangeably with the term programmed cell
death. Here we describe a form of programmed cell death that is distinct from apoptosis by …

Necrosis has long been described as a consequence of physico-chemical stress and thus
accidental and uncontrolled. Recently, it is becoming clear that necrotic cell death is as well …

Objective To investigate the fate of apoptotic cells in the germinal centers (GCs) of patients

Nephritis is one of the most severe complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
One key characteristic of lupus nephritis (LN) is the deposition of immune complexes …

Apoptotic cell clearance facilitates the removal of aged, damaged, infected or dangerous
cells although minimizing perturbation of surrounding tissues, and is a vital process in the …

The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1), a 113 kDa nuclear enzyme, is cleaved in
fragments of 89 and 24 kDa during apoptosis. This cleavage has become a useful hallmark …

Background: In recent years, the rapidly advancing field of low-temperature atmospheric
pressure plasmas has shown considerable promise for future translational biomedical …

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial disease and its pathogenesis and
