Thrilled to share our new review summarising the emerging complexity of epithelial cell death regulation. Can we integrate the many cell autonomous and non-autonomous influences to gain predictive power over the decision to die or survive at a given point in space and time?

@RalitzaStaneva @LevayerR Thank you Rali!
