Programmed cell death (self-induced) is intrinsic to all cellular life forms, including
unicellular organisms. However, cell death research has focused on animal models to …

Programmed cell death is a process known to have a crucial role in many aspects of
eukaryotes physiology and is clearly essential to their life. As a consequence, the underlying …

While programmed cell death was once thought to be exclusive to eukaryotic cells, there are
now abundant examples of well regulated cell death mechanisms in bacteria. The …

A defining feature of multicellular life is the utilization of programmed cell death (PCD)[1]. By
sacrificing nonessential cells, the PCD machinery of multicellular eukaryotes defends …

For a long a time programmed cell death was thought to be a unique characteristic of higher
eukaryotes, but evidence has accumulated showing that programmed cell death is a …

In the past few years, there has been remarkable progress unraveling the mechanism and
significance of eukaryotic programmed cell death (PCD), or apoptosis. Not surprisingly, it …

Programmed cell death is a genetically regulated process of cell suicide that is central to the
development, homeostasis and integrity of multicellular organisms. Conversely, the …

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), is an important physiological mechanism,
through which the human immune system regulates homeostasis and responds to diverse …

Programmed cell death (PCD) pathways play significant roles in the physiology of bacteria.
Eukaryotic PCD has been studied extensively, and as a result the precise molecular details …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a ubiquitous feature of multicellular and unicellular
organisms. Eukaryotic microbes use PCD to regulate the development of specialized cells …
