Journal ArticleDOI

Cell death in the unicellular chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta. A hypothesis on the evolution of apoptosis in higher plants and metazoans.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that key elements of cell death pathways were transferred to the nuclear genome of early eukaryotes through ancient viral infections in the Precambrian Ocean before the evolution of multicellular organisms and were subsequently appropriated in both metazoan and higher plant lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines and recommendations on yeast cell death nomenclature

Didac Carmona-Gutierrez, +93 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Unified criteria for the definition of accidental, regulated, and programmed forms of cell death in yeast based on a series of morphological and biochemical criteria are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different ways to die: cell death modes of the unicellular chlorophyte Dunaliella viridis exposed to various environmental stresses are mediated by the caspase-like activity DEVDase.

TL;DR: The theory that alternative, non-apoptotic programmed cell death (PCDs), exist either in parallel or in an independent manner with apoptosis and were already present in single-celled organisms that evolved some 1.2-1.6 billion years ago is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of caspase-like activities prevents the appearance of reactive oxygen species and dark-induced apoptosis in the unicellular chlorophyte dunaliella tertiolecta(1).

TL;DR: Evidence for a link between ROS and cell death involving caspase‐like enzymes in an alga is found and suggests that caspasing‐like proteases might have regulatory roles early in cell death, in addition to dismantling functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rough sets and the role of the monetary policy in financial stability (macroeconomic problem) and the prediction of insolvency in insurance sector (microeconomic problem)

TL;DR: A bankruptcy prediction model for Spanish non-life insurance companies is developed and it is found that it is the uncertainty related with a non-clear allocation of monetary policy responsibilities that contributes to financial crisis episodes.
