I sympathize with the problems related above, and currently there is some
discussion of apoptosis in aging. However, the subject more generally
belongs to the cell biology group. I am interested in counting noses as
to how many are interested in seeing apoptosis discussions in cell biology
and how many are interested in seeing them in aging.
