Aims and scope:

Journal of Cell Death is an open access, peer reviewed journal which covers research into all types and aspects of cell death, both natural and pathological, and at both the basic and applied levels. This includes the causes, cellular components, pathways, mediators and processes involved, as well as biochemistry, morphological changes, genetics and function.

Of particular interest are the implications necrotic and apoptotic processes have for disease and treatment together with the phagocytic mechanisms responsible for the disposal of cellular corpses. Related topics such as autophagocytosis are also included.
