Dictyostelium constitutes a genetically tractable model for the analysis of autophagic cell
death (ACD). During ACD, Dictyostelium cells first transform into paddle cells and then …

Autophagic cell death (ACD) can be operationally described as cell death with an
autophagic component. While most molecular bases of this autophagic component are …

Autophagic cell death can be conveniently studied in Dictyostelium discoideum, an
exceptionally favorable model not only because of its well‐known genetic and experimental …

Non‐apoptotic cell death types can be conveniently studied in Dictyostelium discoideum, an
exceptionally favorable model not only because of its well‐known genetic and experimental …

Autophagic cell death in Dictyostelium can be dissociated into a starvation-induced
sensitization stage and a death induction stage. A UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ugpB) …

Dictyostelium cells in monolayers in vitro lend themselves well to a study of autophagic cell
death (ACD). There is no apoptosis machinery in the protist Dictyostelium, no caspase nor …

Among unusual models to study cell death mechanisms, the protist Dictyostelium is
remarkable because of its strategic phylogenetic position, with early emergence among …

We investigated the role of Atg1 in autophagic cell death (ACD) in a Dictyostelium
monolayer model. The model is especially propitious, not only because of genetic tractability …

Three main advantages make Dictyostelium a very favorable model to study the induction of
autophagic cell death in vitro. First, its small, sequenced and haploid genome facilitates …

In this chapter, we describe how to conveniently demonstrate, assess, and study cell death
in Dictyostelium through simple cell culture, clonogenic tests, and photonic (with the help of …
