Programmed cell death: role for MazF and MrpC in Myxococcus multicellular development.
Programmed cell death is of ultimate importance in embryonic development of animals. Now, programmed cell death has been shown to be an integral part of a multicellular developmental program in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.
