Nerve cells die in the context of Alzheimer's disease as a consequence of a well-defined sequence of biochemical reactions, called 'necroptosis.'" Dr. Sriram Balusu, Postdoctoral Researcher ...

It is a well-known fact that Alzheimer's disease is a neurological condition that is characterized by the loss of neurons and, thereby, the loss of communication between them.

A pivotal study has uncovered that iron orchestrates the activation of two damaging cell death pathways—ferroptosis and necroptosis—early in ischemic stroke recovery, exacerbating brain injury.

But others, often when they’re infected with viruses, opt for a messier, more violent form: necroptosis, which harnesses the immune system to attack and kill the body’s own cells. In recent years, ...
