June special issue on Dying cell recognition, guest edited by Guido Kroemer. View the full special issue and view our accompanying videos.
Cell Death & Differentiation is a journal devoted to the cell biology, molecular biology and biochemistry of cell death and differentiation, both in normal tissue regulation and in disease. To this end, Cell Death & Differentiation provides a unified forum for scientists as well as clinicians. It is committed to the rapid publication of high-quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, meeting reports, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.

The 7th NPG Cell Death & Disease Symposium on Translational Medicine
The 7th Cell Death & Disease Symposium on Translational Medicine will be held in Changzhou, China, from October 18–20. In line with the "Translational Medicine" theme, the symposium will focus on cutting-edge discoveries in cell death and differentiation—related disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches. The organization committee is honored to have recruited a team of world-renowned experts in cell death, proliferation, stem cells, cancer, and immunology to present their exciting findings.
This symposium represents a highly focused and intimate forum to foster interactions and collaborations among renowned scientists and young investigators from both inside and outside of China. One of the highlights is the discussion with a group of Nature Publication Group journal editors on how to publish scientific papers. On behalf of the NPG journal Cell Death & Disease, the symposium committee will be presenting awards in several categories to promising young scientists.
For more details, please check the symposium website.

CDD RECOMMENDED DATABASES
DeathBase
DeathBase is a database of proteins involved in cell death processes. Updated continuously by a team of expert curators whose areas of expertise cover all proteins involved in cell death in five model species, DeathBase provides a useful tool for anyone with an interest in apoptosis and cell death.
CASBAH
The Caspase Substrate database Homepage (CASBAH) provides a comprehensive list of caspase substrates as a searchable web resource containing information pertaining to all currently known caspase substrates.
The p53 website
The p53 website is a reference for all scientists working on p53, including information on p53 structure and function, the description of all p53 monoclonal antibodies and the phylogenetic analysis of p53. The p53 web site also hosts the UMD p53 mutation database that can download for clinical or epidemiological analysis.
Bcl-2 family database
Bcl-2 family database holds a collection of sequence, structural and functional information about one of the most studied protein families in cell biology, enabling researchers to readily retrieve Bcl-2 family sequences and related data.
