Title: Post-embryonic development in the ventral cord of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

These cells are produced by the uniform division of 13 neuroblasts followed by a defined pattern of cell deaths. Comparison with the data in the previous paper suggests that there is a relationship between the ancestry of a cell and its function. The significance of programmed cell death is discussed.Read More
