The 9 pages that link to Programmed cell death, each with the reason it gives.

• Caenorhabditis elegansRelated: Studies of its development revealed genes that control a genetically programmed set of cell deaths.

• MulticellularityRelated: Removing damaged or surplus cells helps preserve organism-wide function.

• TracheidRelated: Mature tracheids lose their living contents before functioning as conduits.

• Cell deathNarrower topic: It is the regulated subset of cell death, not a synonym for every death process.

• Dictyostelium discoideumRelated: Stalk-cell development involves cell death, making the organism useful for studying cellular sacrifice.

• Rita Levi-MontalciniRelated: Nerve growth factor helps prevent this process in responsive neurons.

• Yoshinori OhsumiCompared with: Autophagy can support survival under stress, unlike the cell-elimination outcome associated with this process.

• Neurodegenerative diseaseRelated: Some degenerative processes engage cell-death pathways, although neuronal loss is not always apoptotic.

• Growth processesRelated: Removing selected cells can shape structures during growth.
