Apoptosis (programmed cell death) plays a critical role in development, normal physiology, and many diseases, including cancer. Apoptosis researchers form a distinct research community but investigators in many areas of cell, developmental, and molecular biology, as well as immunology and neurobiology, also study the process. This short book describes our detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in apoptotic signaling and execution, covering signal transducers, caspases, BCL-2family proteins, mitochondrial molecules, and IAPs. It also critically discusses key questions that remain in the field, for example, whether caspases are always necessary, the distinction between the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis, and the role of mitochondria, that are often glossed over or ignored elsewhere.

Means to and End: Apoptosis and Other Cell Death Mechanisms PDF

This is a short, well-written book covering a specific scientific topic. It's up-to-date (2011), it's got a distinct visual style, and it's very accessible to someone with a basic biology background.

By F. Gibbons

Sheds light on a murky understanding [on my part] of cell death issues.
This is an informative and well written read.
