In a recent issue of Cell, Li and Baker (2007) show in the Drosophila wing disc that cells fated to die induce in neighboring cells the activity of engulfment genes, whose function is essential to complete the apoptotic program.engreview article1534-5815https://doi.org/10.1016/j.devcel.2007.06.002open access575576577591.1Biología celular (Biología)Biología molecular (Biología)GenéticaNeurociencias (Biológicas)2401.08 Genética Animal2415 Biología Molecular2490 Neurociencias
