If you don't want them shed them.
Seminal studies in C. elegans contributed to our general understanding of programmed cell death conferred by apoptosis. A recent study unravelled a new form of cell death in the worm and provided insights into its regulation. Affected cells are shed from intact tissues, a modality of death likely to be conserved and relevant to cancer.
