Yeast Cells Exposed to Exogenous Palmitoleic Acid Either Adapt to Stress and Survive or Commit to Regulated Liponecrosis and Die

Table 1

Some of the morphological and biochemical traits characteristic of palmitoleic acid- (POA-) induced liponecrotic regulated cell death (RCD) are unique to this mode of RCD, whereas other traits are shared by this mode and other (i.e., caspase-dependent apoptotic, autophagic, and necrotic) RCD modes. LDs, lipid droplets; PM, plasma membrane; PS, phosphatidylserine.
