AB SUMMARYThe  survival  or  death  of  individual  cells  is  paramount  to  a  myriad  of  biological  processes  in  metazoans.  Although  it  is  thought  that  some  cells  die  “accidently”  in  a  nonprogrammed  manner,  many  biological  processes  depend  on  orchestrated  processes  of  cell  death,  collectively  called  “regulated  cell  death.”  This  collection  of  cell  death  processes  imparts  consequences  not  only  on  the  dying  cell  but  also  on  the  surrounding  cells  and  tissues.  Current  work  has  not  only  described  this  compendium  of  cell  death  processes  in  detail  but  has  also  identified  scenarios  in  which  cell  death  is  not  actually  the  end  of  cellular  activities.  For  example,  evidence  indicates  that  in  the  case  of  infection,  the  pathogen  can  survive  after  the  cell  has  died.  This  chapter  discusses  some  of  the  ways  by  which  cells  die  in  a  regulated  manner  and  the  downstream  consequences  of  these  death  processes.
