Techniques for demonstrating cell death

  • Chapter
Cell death in biology and pathology

Abstract

Cell death is as difficult to define as clinical death. The research scientist, like the medical practitioner, often finds himself probing the remains. Cell death itself is a dynamic process, and the end point or the point of commitment may be both fleeting and controversial. Much of the scientific evidence is still largely histological or cytological so that as D. H. Lawrence (1918) surmized, ‘We have only a hardened bit of the past the bygone life under our observation’. In such a situation we have to select profiles of previously dying cells from amongst a host of artificially killed or fixed cells.

‘We have only a hardened bit of the past the bygone life under our observation’. (D. H. Lawrence, 1918)
