  1. ncbi Genetic control of necrosis - another type of programmed cell death
    Kimberly McCall
    Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA
    Curr Opin Cell Biol 22:882-8. 2010
    ..This review highlights recent findings from C. elegans, yeast, Dictyostelium, Drosophila, and mammals that collectively provide evidence for conserved mechanisms of necrosis...
  2. ncbi Eggs over easy: cell death in the Drosophila ovary
    Kimberly McCall
    Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA
    Dev Biol 274:3-14. 2004
    ..Recent findings suggest that these different types of cell death involve distinct genetic pathways. This review focuses on progress towards elucidating the molecular mechanisms acting during programmed cell death in Drosophila oogenesis...

    Tracy L Pritchett
    Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA
    Apoptosis 14:969-79. 2009

  5. ncbi Noncanonical cell death pathways act during Drosophila oogenesis
    Jeanne S Peterson
    Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
    Genesis 45:396-404. 2007

  6. ncbi Detection of cell death in Drosophila
    Kimberly McCall
    Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA, USA
    Methods Mol Biol 559:343-56. 2009
    ..We focus on methods for the embryo and the ovary, but these techniques can be used on other tissues as well. The third method is the detection of genetic interactions by expressing cell death genes in the Drosophila eye...
  7. ncbi Germline cell death is inhibited by P-element insertions disrupting the dcp-1/pita nested gene pair in Drosophila
    Bonni Laundrie

    Genetics 165:1881-8. 2003
