Cell survival refers to the ability of cells to withstand various stresses and conditions that could potentially lead to cell death. This research area focuses on understanding the mechanisms and pathways involved in promoting cell survival, such as cell signaling, DNA repair, and stress response pathways. Researchers in this field study how cells respond to different stimuli, such as nutrient deprivation, oxidative stress, or exposure to toxins, and how they can adapt and survive under these challenging conditions. Understanding the factors that contribute to cell survival is important for developing therapies for diseases that involve cell death, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Overall, the goal of cell survival research is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that regulate cell survival and identify potential targets for therapeutic interventions to promote cell survival and prevent cell death.
