Cell Death in Reproductive Physiology

Cell Death in Reproductive Physiology edited by Jonathan L. Tilly, Jerome F. Strauss, Martin Tenniswood.

The regulation of cell death in various reproductive tissues, as in other ma­ jor organ systems of the body, has become a focal point of research activity in many laboratories over the past few years. As such, the need for a "for­ mal" meeting to highlight recent work in this field, as wel...
