Overview

This is a collection of methods for the study of cell death. Virtually all cells are genetically programmed to self-destruct under certain conditions. Massive cell death is often triggered as protection against a pathogen. However, recent evidence indicates that it is also a normal and necessary weeding out in the development and life of an organism. The number of investigators of cell death has expanded rapidly over the last few years. This is because the clinical implications for controlling cell death are immense. It is a mechanism that could conceivably be used to treat cancer and a wide variety of other disorders. Using a diverse range of technical approaches and model systems, the chapters in this volume cover topics from the cellular and organismal to the molecular and anatomical.
