Cell Survival and Cell Death, 2e

Caption

Our intimate connection with life and death is symbolized by the winged hourglass, reminding each of us how time flies swiftly from light into darkness. An instrument so revealing in its duality, the scythe both ends and renews life's circle. Face masks worn by plague doctors during epidemics connect cell death to pathogen defense with living and apoptotic cells at the heart of each practitioner.
