title: Programmed cell death: role for MazF and MrpC in Myxococcus multicellular development.
abstract: 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.
