Cell Death
Individual cells face three choices: to divide (mitosis), to specialize (differentiate) or to commit suicide (cell death). Physiological cell death has become a major field of study for cell and molecular biologists in the last twenty years. The articles in this group explain the complex processes involved in the different pathways leading to cell death.
