Polar Body Membrane Breakdown Occurs Independent of Macroautophagy in C. Elegans
<p>Failure to digest cell corpses can lead to lupus-like autoimmune disorders in mammals. To better understand if LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) drives cell corpse breakdown in phagolysosomes, we studied the clearance of the <em>C. elegans</em> polar body during embryonic development. ATG16L1 …

Components Required for the Death and Degradation of the Linker Cell in C. Elegans
<p>Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important process in the development of multicellular organisms. Apoptosis, a form of PCD characterized morphologically by chromatin condensation, membrane blebbing, and cytoplasm compaction, and molecularly by the activation of caspase proteases, has been …

Studies of programmed cell death in the nematode caenorhabditis elegans
Programmed cell death is an evolutionarily conserved process that plays critical roles in normal animal development and has been extensively studied in C. elegans. During programmed cell death, caspases are activated in the dying cell. The cell corpse is engulfed by a neighboring cell and degraded. …
