Cell death: a review of the major forms of apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy

Cell Biology International, 2019
Cell death was once believed to be the result of one of two distinct processes, apoptosis (also known as programmed cell death) or necrosis (uncontrolled cell death); in recent years, however, several other forms of cell death have been discovered ...

Monist, 1993
The paper rejects "brain death" as a new criterion, or definition, of actual death. The main theses are two: 1. Brain death as such--in any of its meanings--is not man's death and this can be proven by means of many cogent and some plausible arguments. 2.

The Death Receptors

1999
In recent years apoptosis, also called programmed cell death, has been recognized to be the physiological way for a nucleated animal cell to die. Apoptosis takes care of unwanted, injured or virus-infected cells (Farber 1994; Collins 1995). Autoreactive T and B cells that are produced by the immune system by the millions every day are also eliminated ...
