Vertebrate embryonic development is a complex process in which cells self-organize into a completely formed organism via cell behaviors such as division, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and programmed cell death (PCD). Among these cell behaviors, PCD exists in all stages of embryonic deve...

The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has emerged as a critical target in colorectal cancer (CRC) immunotherapy, with pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and dostarlimab demonstrating significant clinical efficacy, particularly in microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) tumors. However,...

Programmed cell death – it is a cell death by a strictly defined mechanism with possible impact on him and, due to this, the death control, including using of pharmacological agents. Currently known many different types of cell death, but only two basic types of cell death are adequately characteriz...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule in different physiological processes of plants, including programmed cell death (PCD). PCD of tillers plays an important role in surviving which are major components of grain yield. PCD was triggered in wheat leaves of main stem and tillers by NO content...

The immune system plays a key role in the development and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Understanding the dysregulation and blockage of the immune system of malignant tumors in this location can improve treatment outcomes. A special group is made up of patients who have a wid...

Cell death represents the most critical pathologic entity in liver disease, which dictates pathologic consequences such as inflammation, fibrosis, and cell transformation. We analyzed the conclusions of studies on the involvement of different types of programmed cell death (PCD) in the pathogenesis...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common severe type of liver cancer characterized by an extremely aggressive course and low survival rates. It is known that disruptions in the regulation of apoptosis activation are some of the key features inherent in most cancer cells, which determines the pharm...

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common clinical systemic bone disease, with insidious onset and usually causes serious complications such as fractures. Studies have found that the dysfunction of a variety of bone cells will lead to enhanced bone resorption and reduced bone formation capacity, thus resulting...

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a crucial role in preventing cancer initiation and progression. Among the diverse PCD pathways, cuproptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis have garnered attention for their unique mechanisms, which not only directly eliminate tumor cells but also enhance anti-tumor im...

The paper presents an overview of the structure and functions of caspase group enzymes. The main stages and ways of development of programmed cell death - apoptosis were demonstrated. The mechanisms of inhibition and activation of caspasesand their role in cell apoptosis are demonstrated. The differ...

Programmed cell death (PCD) is equally important for maintaining overall homeostasis as it is for cell proliferation. The dynamic balance between cell proliferation and PCD promotes the body’s continuous self-repair and self-renewal, thus achieving cellular homeostasis. However, when this balance is...

BackgroundChemotherapy alone exhibits suboptimal efficacy in patients with treatment-naïve advanced gastric cancer (GC). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated that combining Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 (PD-1) blockade with chemotherapy significantly improves overall survival (OS)...
