Abstract:
:Cancer depends on cell death. It can emerge when cell death is deficient, and it could be treated through cancer-cell-specific induction of cell death. However, our understanding of cell death is still incomplete. While a few classical animal models have helped greatly in this respect, more may be learnt from non-classical model organisms from all eukaryotic kingdoms. We describe in this volume some of these non-classical models of cell death, which are at least potentially scientifically informative and often aesthetically pleasing.
