Publisher's Synopsis
The question "why do cells die?" has major implications for the pathology of tissues and the entire human organism. If it could be answered, the frontiers of knowledge about cell viability would be extended well beyond their present limits, to the benefit of all. The fate of cells receives close attention from the editors and their colleagues gathered from around the world, who examine acute cell injury, cellular viability and cell death, with due regard for implications in the care of patients, drug treatment regimes and diagnostic studies.
