Trending and Emerging
- Ferroptosis and Cuproptosis:
Research on ferroptosis and cuproptosis is rapidly increasing, reflecting a growing interest in these novel forms of regulated cell death and their potential therapeutic implications in cancer and other diseases. - Integration of Machine Learning and Bioinformatics:
The use of machine learning and bioinformatics tools to analyze cell death pathways and predict therapeutic outcomes is emerging as a significant trend, allowing for more precise and personalized approaches in cancer treatment. - Interplay Between Cell Death and Immune Response:
There is a rising focus on understanding how different forms of cell death interact with the immune system, particularly in the context of cancer immunotherapy, highlighting the importance of immune modulation. - Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment:
Research is increasingly addressing how cell death mechanisms can be influenced by the tumor microenvironment, emphasizing the need for therapies that not only target cancer cells but also modulate surrounding tissues. - Novel Biomarkers for Prognosis and Therapy:
The identification of new biomarkers related to various cell death pathways is gaining importance for predicting patient outcomes and guiding treatment decisions, particularly in oncology.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Apoptosis Pathways:
There has been a noticeable shift away from classic apoptosis studies, particularly those focusing solely on caspase-mediated pathways. Research is increasingly integrating more complex and diverse forms of regulated cell death like ferroptosis and pyroptosis. - Cell Death in Non-Cancerous Diseases:
While cell death mechanisms in cancer remain a strong focus, studies addressing apoptosis in non-cancerous diseases such as neurodegeneration or cardiovascular diseases have become less frequent, indicating a narrowing of the journal's thematic scope. - In Vitro Studies:
There is a declining trend in articles focused solely on in vitro studies of apoptosis in isolated cell lines. Research is increasingly emphasizing in vivo studies and translational approaches that consider the complexity of living organisms. - General Reviews on Apoptosis Mechanisms:
Comprehensive reviews solely summarizing apoptosis mechanisms without new insights or applications are becoming less common, as the journal favors articles that present novel findings or methodologies.
