Removal of unwanted, effete, or damaged cells through apoptosis, an active cell death
culminating in phagocytic removal of cell corpses, is an important process throughout the …

Research during the past 15 years has led to significant breakthroughs, providing evidence
of a high degree of similarity between insect and mammalian innate immune responses …

Lipid bodies (lipid droplets) are lipid-rich organelles with functions in cell metabolism and
signaling. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of Trypanosoma cruzi–induced lipid body …

Few, if any, individual cells survive throughout the life of the animal, an observation that sets
up the critical concepts of cell life span, turnover, and removal and maintenance of …

In metazoans, apoptotic cells are swiftly engulfed by phagocytes and degraded inside
phagosomes. Multiple small GTPases in the Rab family are known to function in phagosome …

Draper, the Drosophila melanogaster homolog of the Ced-1 protein of Caenorhabditis
elegans, is a cell-surface receptor required for the recognition and engulfment of apoptotic …

The Jumonji C-domain containing protein 6 (JMJD6) has had a convoluted history, and
recent reports indicating a multifactorial role in foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) …

Analyses of supernatants from apoptotic cells have helped in the identification of many
signals that modulate the states of cell activation and differentiation. However, the current …
