Popis: We draw the following tentative conclusions from our studies on programmed cell death (PCD): (i) the amount of normal cell death in mammalian development is still underestimated; (ii) most mammalian cells constitutively express the proteins required to undergo PCD ; (iii) the death programme operates by default when a mammalian cell is deprived of signals from other cells; (iv) many normal cell deaths may occur because cells fail to obtain the extracellular signals they need to suppress the death programme; and (v) neither the nucleus nor mitochondrial respiration is required for PCD (or Bcl-2 protection from PCD), raising the possibility that the death programme, like mitosis, is orchestrated by a cytosolic regulator that acts on multiple organelles in parallel.
