Is caspase‐dependent apoptosis only cell differentiation taken to the extreme?

8 Nov 2006

Abstract excerpt

The benefits of apoptosis for a multicellular organism are obvious and fit the current dogma that the maintenance and viability of such organisms are dependent on the selective elimination of unneeded or deleterious cell types. However, self destruction at the level of the individual cell defies the most basic precepts of biology (sustaining life). If apoptosis is viewed through this construct then one question...
