Overview
This volume covers the wide range of approaches to and definitions of cell death as explored by scientists in different disciplines. There is no single definition of cell death that can be accepted and used by all biologists, yet it is clear that understanding how and why cells die is crucial to understanding many biological and pathological processes. The thirteen chapters, written by scientists involved in various disciplines, bring together the experimental approaches and most up-to-date concepts important to different biological disciplines, providing an insight into the common ground and fundamental principles.
