Cell death pathways: intricate connections and disease implications

Matthias Kist et al.

Summary: In recent years, research has identified various forms of cell death, each relying on different proteins for activation. Many pathways share components and signaling principles, working together rather than independently. Several cell death regulators are linked to human diseases and may be potential therapeutic targets.

Pleiotropic effects of alpha-ketoglutarate as a potential anti-ageing agent

Maria M. Bayliak et al.

Summary: AKG, an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, plays diverse roles in cellular metabolism and regulation, with potential anti-aging effects demonstrated in experimental models. Its geroprotective actions may involve epigenetic regulation, antioxidant properties, and mimicking caloric restriction and hormesis. AKG's influence on mitochondrial respiration and induction of ROS production could lead to beneficial biological effects according to hormesis hypothesis, despite discrepancies in different models and limitations as a geroprotective drug.

Necroptosis, pyroptosis and apoptosis: an intricate game of cell death

Damien Bertheloot et al.

Summary: Cell death is a fundamental physiological process in all living organisms, playing important roles in embryonic development, organ maintenance, aging, immune responses, and autoimmunity. Recent research has significantly increased our understanding of the mechanisms orchestrating different types of programmed cell death and how they affect the balance of cell fates. Various modalities of cell death, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis, have been studied to highlight both common and unique pathways and their impact on the surrounding cells and the organism as a whole.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Regulates Different Types of Cell Death by Acting as a Rheostat

Gloria E. Villalpando-Rodriguez et al.

Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are crucial for cellular signaling and stress response, with different levels and types affecting a cell's ability to undergo cell death and being associated with dysregulation of antioxidant pathways. Cell death can occur through various mechanisms, with ROS playing essential roles in different types of cell death and controlling the mechanisms involved.
