Abstract
A variety of cell death pathways play critical roles in the onset and progression of multiple diseases. Paraptosis, a unique form of programmed cell death, has gained significant attention in recent years. Unlike apoptosis and necrosis, paraptosis is characterized by cytoplasmic vacuolization, swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and the absence of caspase activation. Numerous natural products, synthetic compounds, and newly launched nanomedicines have been demonstrated to prime cell death through the paraptotic program and may offer novel therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment. This review summarizes recent findings, delineates the intricate network of signaling pathways underlying paraptosis, and discusses the potential therapeutic implications of targeting paraptosis in cancer treatment. The aim of this review is to expand our understanding of this unique cell death process and explore the potential therapeutic implications of targeting paraptosis in cancer treatment.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Biomedical Science is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on fundamental and molecular aspects of basic medical sciences. It emphasizes molecular studies of biomedical problems and mechanisms. The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Taiwan supports the journal and covers the publication costs for accepted articles. The journal aims to provide an international platform for interdisciplinary discussions and contribute to the advancement of medicine. It benefits both readers and authors by accelerating the dissemination of research information and providing maximum access to scholarly communication. All articles published in the Journal of Biomedical Science are included in various databases such as Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS, CABI, CAS, Citebase, Current contents, DOAJ, Embase, EmBiology, and Global Health, among others.
