Cell death in the peripheral vs central nervous system
A conserved apoptotic pathway in nematodes, mammals and fruitflies
Oxidative stress or environmental insults can lead to DNA damage in replicating cells and this can result in apoptosis or cancer.
Autophagy

Autophagy is the natural, conserved degradation of a biological cell that removes unnecessary or dysfunctional components through a lysosome-dependent regulated mechanism. It allows the orderly degrad
Programmed cell death
…PCD), sometimes referred to as cell suicide or cellular suicide, is the death of a cell as a result of events inside of a cell, such as apoptosis or autophagy. PCD is carried out in a biological process, which usually confers advantage during an organism's lifecycle. For example, the differentiation of fingers…
