Do Fungi Undergo Apoptosis-Like Programmed Cell Death?
ABSTRACT This question of whether fungi undergo apoptosis-like programmed cell death can be separated into two questions. One question is about applying the term "apoptosis" to fungi, and the other is a more challenging question of whether fungi have evolved mechanisms that inflict self-in...
