Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) when coupled with its ligands programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2), functions as a ‘braking system’ within the immune system.

Inducing programmed cell death (PCD), such as apoptosis, is a widely used therapeutic option for the treatment of cancer. Unfortunately, many cancer cells become resistant to PCDs, and continue ...

A landmark study by Indian researchers has not only found evidence of cells recovering from the near-death stage but has also found the molecular mechanism that drives the recovery process, the ...
