Programmed cell death is a basic cellular mechanism. Apoptotic-like programmed cell death
(called apoptosis in animals) occurs in both unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and …

Ingestion by professional or amateur phagocytes is the fate of most cells that undergo
apoptosis. Studies in both Caenorhabditis elegans and mammals are now converging to …

We have assembled data from Caenorhabditis elegans DNA microarray experiments
involving many growth conditions, developmental stages, and varieties of mutants. Co …

Two classes of nucleases degrade the cellular DNA during apoptosis. Cell-autonomous
nucleases cleave DNA within the dying cell. They are not essential for apoptotic cell death or …

Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) II, which was discovered more than 50 years ago, is a
mammalian endonuclease that functions optimally at acid pH in the absence of divalent …

Apoptosis-like programmed cell death (PCD) has recently been described in multiple taxa of
unicellular protists, including the protozoan parasites Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and …

Deoxyribonuclease II (DNase II) is a widespread endonuclease, which can degrade the
DNA. Trichinella spiralis adult-specific DNase II-1 (TsDNase II-1) and DNase II-7 (TsDNase …

Extracellular DNA, released by damaged plant cells, acts as a damage‐associated
molecular pattern (DAMP). We demonstrated previously that the small brown planthopper …

Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) is a zoonotic parasitic nematode with a unique life cycle, as
all developmental stages are contained within a single host. Excretory-secretory (ES) …

DNA fragmentation/degradation is an important step for apoptosis. However, in unicellular
organisms such as yeast, this process has rarely been investigated. In the current study, we …
