Issue Date: | 2005 | Citation: | Tan, K.S.W., Nasirudeen, A.M.A. (2005). Protozoan programmed cell death - Insights from Blastocystis deathstyles. Trends in Parasitology 21 (12) : 547-550. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pt.2005.09.006 | Abstract: | Programmed cell death (PCD) is an essential process in the growth and development of multicellular organisms. However, accumulating evidence indicates that unicellular eukaryotes can also undergo PCD with apoptosis-like features. The protozoan parasite Blastocystis hominis has been reported to exhibit both apoptotic and non-apoptotic features of PCD when exposed to a variety of stimuli. Recent observations of PCD pathways in Blastocystis suggest that this protozoan, as is the case with its multicellular counterparts, possesses complex cell-death mechanisms. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
