APOPTOSIS AND BEYOND: THE MANY WAYS CELLS DIE

These volumes teach readers to think beyond apoptosis and describes all of the known processes that cells can undergo which result in cell death

This two-volume set is the first comprehensive collection to cover all of the known processes that cells undergo when they die. It is also the only one of its kind to compare these processes. It seeks to enlighten those in the field and stimulate their thinking by looking at these pathways when their research system does not show classic signs of apoptotic pathway activation. In addition, it links activities like the molecular biology of one process to another (e.g. Necrosis to Apoptosis) and contrasts those that are closely related.

Volume 1 of Apoptosis and Beyond: The Many Ways Cells Die begins with a general view of the cytoplasmic and nuclear features of apoptosis. It then goes on to offer chapters on targeting the cell death mechanism; microbial programmed cell death; autophagy; cell injury, adaptation, and necrosis; necroptosis; ferroptosis; anoikis; pyronecrosis; and more. Volume 2 covers subjects such as phenoptosis; pyroptosis; hematopoiesis and eryptosis; cyclophilin d-dependent necrosis; and the role of phospholipase in cell death.

• Covers all the known processes that dying cells undergo
• Provides extensive coverage of a topic not fully covered before
• Offers chapters written by top researchers in the field
• Provides activities that link and contrast processes to each other

Apoptosis and Beyond: The Many Ways Cells Die will appeal to students and researchers/clinicians in cell biology, molecular biology, oncology, and tumor biology.
