>programmed cell death refers to the identification of a sequence
of events, now presumed to be gene activity, that leads a cell
to become irreversibly committed to death. See articles on
original use of term (Lockshin and Williams, 1964-1965, J.
Insect Physiology) or review by Saunders, Science, 1966, or
any of several recent reviews (Lockshin, Zakeri & Lockshin,
etc) in Ann Rev NY Acad Sci, FASEB J, Cold Spring Harbor Symp,
elsewhere.
