Regulated cell death is a pivotal regulatory mechanism governing the development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. A comprehensive understanding of RCD's regulatory mechanisms is crucial for developing novel therapeutic strategies against diseases associated with cell death, such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. However, existing data repositories support limited types of cell death data and lack comprehensive annotation and analytical functionalities. Thus, establishing an extensive cell death database is an urgent imperative. To address this gap, we developed the Regulated Cell Death Database (RCDdb, chenyclab.com/RCDdb), the first comprehensively manually annotated database designed to support annotations and analytical capabilities across all RCD types. We compiled 3090 marker gene annotations associated with 15 RCD types from 2180 relevant articles. The RCDdb includes annotation data on these marker genes concerning diseases, drugs, pathways, proteins, and gene expressions. Furthermore, it provides 49 diverse visualization methods to present this information. More importantly, the RCDdb features three online analysis tools for identifying and analyzing RCD-related features within user-submitted data. Furthermore, the RCDdb offers a user-friendly interface for querying, browsing, analysis, and visualization of detailed information associated with each RCD category. This resource promises to significantly aid researchers in better understanding the mechanisms of cell death, thereby accelerating progress in research and therapeutic strategies aimed at combating RCD-related diseases.
