The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or programmed cell ...

Fukuoka, Japan—The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or ...

As the brain ages, it loses cells. Researchers have predominantly focused on the effects of cell death in brain areas responsible for cognition, but the cerebellum, most well-known for coordinating ...
