I sent this as a general message to Van Dorn, but the general address
got bounced back. It may be of interest to others.
I'm interested in your findings. Steve Delaporta at Yale has begun some
studies of cell death in sexual tissues of plants, and he has published
a couple of articles on that, but not specifically emphasizing cell death.
The literature on animal cell senescence is huge. Do a literature search
for 'review' and the names of V. Cristofalo, J. Campisi, J. Smith, O.
Pereira-Smith, T. Norwood, C. Bayerreuter, N. Holbrook especially. There
will be a book out during 1995 on cl aging and cell death including both
cells in culture and apoptosis (N. Holbrook, G. Martin, R. Lockshin eds, Wiley-
Liss)
