Engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a technique that uses microbubbles and ultrasound to help relatively large cancer drugs enter tumor cells and cause them to self-destruct.

In Alzheimer's, brain cells die too soon. In cancer, dangerous cells don't die soon enough. That's because both diseases alter the way cells decide when to end their lives, a process called programmed ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...

Scientists have created a new compound that can self-destruct cancer cells. The compound is made up of two proteins, which researchers "glued" together. They describe the process in a paper published ...
