Abstract excerpt
We developed a method for examining the effects of overexpressing cell-death-related genes in specific Caenorhabditis elegans neurons that normally live. Using this method, we demonstrated that the cell-death genes ced-3, ced-4, and ced-9 all can act cell autonomously to control programmed cell d...
