Cell death occurs in all domains of life. While some cells die in an uncontrolled way due to
exposure to external cues, other cells die in a regulated manner as part of a genetically …

Greater understanding of programmed cell death (PCD) responses in pathogenic fungi may
offer a chance of exploiting the fungal molecular death machinery to control fungal …

Cells of all living organisms are programmed to self-destruct under certain conditions. The
most well known form of programmed cell death is apoptosis, which is essential for proper …

Death is an important part of an organism's existence and also marks the end of life. On a
cellular level, death involves the execution of complex processes, which can be classified …

Programmed cell death (PCD), in which cells actively participate in their own death through
the activation of defined pathways, has long been established as an important …

Background Fungi can undergo autophagic-or apoptotic-type programmed cell death (PCD)
on exposure to antifungal agents, developmental signals, and stress factors. Filamentous …

Fungal diseases contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in humans. Although
recent research has improved our understanding of the complex and dynamic interplay that …

Investigation of fungal biology has been frequently motivated by the fact that many fungal
species are important plant and animal pathogens. Such efforts have contributed …

Studies conducted in the early 1990s showed for the first time that Saccharomyces
cerevisiae can undergo cell death with hallmarks of animal apoptosis. These findings came …

Necrotrophic fungi are unable to occupy living plant cells. How such pathogens survive first
contact with living host tissue and initiate infection is therefore unclear. Here, we show that …
