Physiological cell death plays critical roles in almost all aspects of biology, and the book details its roles in lymphocyte homeostasis, neuronal function, metabolism, and the DNA damage response. When physiological cell death goes awry, diseases can arise, and cancer is presented as a central paradigm for the consequences of derangements in the interplay between cell survival and cell death. At the same time, the potential promise of targeted therapies aimed at interdicting cell death machineries are also discussed extensively. The molecular mechanisms that underlie apoptotic cell death are illustrated from the perspectives of both the intrinsic, mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and the extrinsic, death receptor pathway. Key players in these pathways, such as the Bcl2 family proteins, cytochrome c, Apaf-1, caspases, death receptor adapter proteins, and inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, are presented from both functional and structural angles. Until only a few years ago, programmed cell death has been considered essentially synonymous with apoptosis. However, we now know that programmed cell death can also take other forms such as necrosis or necroptosis, and to this end, the mechanisms that underlie programmed necrosis in development and host defense are illustrated. The past twenty plus years have seen an incredible growth of research in cell death, with one breakthrough after another, and the legacy still goes on with constant new surprises and findings. Long live cell death! Hao Wu, Ph.D., is the Asa and Patricia Springer Professor at Harvard Medical School where she is a member of the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology. She is also a Senior Investigator in the Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at Boston Children?s Hospital. Her research focuses on elucidating the molecular basis of signal transduction by immune receptors, including the induction of cell death pathways. 606 $aCell biology 606 $aCell physiology 606 $aProteins  606 $aApoptosis 606 $aMedicine 606 $aCell Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008 606 $aCell Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010 606 $aReceptors$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14110 606 $aApoptosis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16060 606 $aBiomedicine, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000X 615 0$aCell biology. 615 0$aCell physiology. 615 0$aProteins . 615 0$aApoptosis. 615 0$aMedicine. 615 14$aCell Biology. 615 24$aCell Physiology. 615 24$aReceptors. 615 24$aApoptosis. 615 24$aBiomedicine, general. 676 $a570 676 $a571.6 676 $a571.936 676 $a572696 702 $aWu$b Hao$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298334703321 996 $aCell Death$983513 997 $aUNINA
