Cell Death by Entosis: Triggers, Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Significance

Abstract excerpt

Entosis-a homotypic insertion of one cell into another, resulting in a death of the invading cell-has been described in many reports, but crucial aspects of its molecular mechanisms and clinical significance still remain controversial. While actomyosin contractility of the invading cell is very well established as a driving force in the initial phase, and autophagy induced in the outer cell is determined as the...
