Malaria ookinetes exhibit multiple markers for apoptosis-like programmed cell death in vitro. [PDF]
Background: A wide range of unicellular eukaryotes have now been shown to undergo a form of programmed cell death (PCD) that resembles apoptosis; exhibiting morphological and, in some cases, biochemical markers typical of metazoans. However, reports that

Bloodstream form trypanosoma brucei depend upon multiple metacaspases associated with RAB11-positive endosomes [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei possesses five metacaspase genes. Of these, MCA2 and MCA3 are expressed only in the mammalian bloodstream form of the parasite, whereas MCA5 is expressed also in the insect procyclic form.

Staurosporine induces necroptotic cell death under caspase-compromised conditions in U937 cells [PDF]
For a long time necrosis was thought to be an uncontrolled process but evidences recently have revealed that necrosis can also occur in a regulated manner.

Evolution of apoptosis-like programmed cell death in unicellular protozoan parasites [PDF]
Apoptosis-like programmed cell death (PCD) has recently been described in multiple taxa of unicellular protists, including the protozoan parasites Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and Leishmania.

Programmed Cell Death in Sepsis Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is common in patients with severe sepsis, and has a high incidence rate and high mortality rate in ICU patients. Most patients progress to AKI before drug treatment is initiated.
