Review Title: Population dynamics in cell death: Mechanisms of propagation
Abstract: Cell death can occur through numerous regulated mechanisms that are categorized by their molecular machineries and differing effects on physiology. Apoptosis and necrosis, for example, have opposite effects on tissue inflammation due to their different modes of execution. Another feature that can distinguish different forms of cell death is that they have distinct intrinsic effects on the cell populations in which they occur. For example, a regulated mechanism of necrosis called ferroptosis has the unusual ability to spread between cells in a wave-like manner, thereby eliminating entire cell populations. Here we discuss the ways in which cell death can propagate between cells in normal physiology and disease, as well as the potential exploitation of cell death propagation for cancer therapy. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
