Title: When cells die : a comprehensive evaluation of apoptosis and programmed cell death
Description: When Cells Die establishes a coherent framework for the study of cell death - cutting across viewpoints and disciplines and consolidating disparate research efforts.

Leading international researchers describe a wide range of topics, including evaluation methods for programmed cell death and apoptosis in numerous tissues and circumstances; genetic mechanism, signal transduction, and observed manifestations of physiological cell death; model systems ranging from nematodes to humans; relevant work in cancer research, AIDS, immune disorders, fertility, eye disease, and Alzheimer's disease; and more.

When Cells Die offers a comprehensive introduction to an intriguing discipline, insight into areas in need of exploration, and information on new techniques and therapeutic applicationsall supported with diagrams and flowcharts and a fully cross-referenced and indexed text. It is important reading for anyone working in cell and developmental biology, neuroscience, immunology, cancer research, and virology.

It is also useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers just entering the field.
