One of the most impressive features of apoptosis is how quickly it all happens. One minute the cell is happily sitting there on its plastic lawn; the next-boom!-it is in convulsions, writhing in its death throes. Many a QuickTime movie has been produced to illustrate this point. Unfortunately, most of these movies stop shortly after the cell falls apart. While less photogenic, what happens to the remains of the cell after the camera stops rolling is no less impressive-at least in vivo.
