Because intrinsic cell death occurs as part of a developmental programme, it seemed likely that there were actually genes for apoptosis. Working with Caenorhabditis elegans (a much studied nematode worm), where it is known that exactly 131 of the total of 1090 cells die by apoptosis during development, Bob Horovitz from Cambridge in the USA found several programmed cell death genes. These studies led to the award of a Nobel Prize in 2002, shared with John Sulston and Sydney Brenner from Cambridge in the UK.
