Means to an End - Apoptosis and Other Cell Death Mechanisms Green Douglas R St Jude Childrens Research HospitalPaperback / softback

Green (St. He assumes a college level understanding of cell biology and biochemistry, but explains terms and concepts as they come up. Jude Children's Research Hospital) introduces cell death to undergraduate students and general readers.

Among his topics are caspases and their substrates, the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, clearance and consequences, and the future of death. In some ways, he says, the book may been considered an argument that the fundamentals of apoptosis are well enough known now to summarize in a relatively non-technical manner.
