Anthranilate fluorescence marks a calcium-propagated necrotic wave that promotes organismal death in C. elegans.
For cells the passage from life to death can involve a regulated, programmed transition. In contrast to cell death, the mechanisms of systemic collapse underlying organismal death remain poorly understood. Here we present evidence of a cascade of cell death involving the calpain-cathepsin necrosis p...

For cells the passage from life to death can involve a regulated, programmed transition.
