Special issue on Cellular and molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and repair
For multicellular organisms, the process of death is inseparable from life. The process of cell death occurs continuously and is a fundamental mechanism for development and, perversely, for survival. To date, at least 10 distinct modes of homeostatic cell death (e.g. anoikis, autophagy, caspase-independent apoptosis, Wallerian degeneration, excitotoxicity, cornification etc.) have been identified. Further understanding of death mechanisms could lead to an improvement of our knowledge of survival and protection and, therefore, in our understanding of the aetiology of certain diseases. This special issue comprises a collection of papers written by some of the renowned speakers at the Academia Europaea & Klaus Tschira Foundation's international symposium in March 2007.
