PANoptosis: A Coordinated Response in the Diversity of Cell Death

Mert Karaca and Haluk Barbaros Oral

Programmed cell death (PCD) mechanisms are an inherent part of protection against pathogens and cellular stress. Pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis are the best-known PCD pathways that protect the body against both internal and external risk factors. The observation that all three cell death pathways can be activated in response to certain stimuli, such as influenza virus (IAV) infection, has raised the question of whether they are triggered independently or work in (...)

Validation and Comparative Analysis of Dihydrorhodamine 123 Oxidative Burst Measurement by Flow Cytometry in Neutrophils: A Study of Two Isolation Techniques and Two Bacterial Strains

Cemil Pehlivanoğlu

and others

Neutrophils are the most abundant cells, accounting for 50-70% of all white blood cells. They are critical in the immune response against bacterial and fungal pathogens. They are characterized by their ability to rapidly migrate to sites of infection or injury to eliminate invading pathogens. Neutrophils trigger microbicidal mechanisms (...)
