Summary
Researchers at Wayne State University have developed a novel method to identify and analyze the process of programmed cell death (apoptosis) in living cells over time—without killing the cells. The method has initially been applied to the analysis of PCD in neurons but could be used in the study of any disease process and of PCD in a number of different cell types.
