Classical model organisms have helped greatly in our understanding of cell death but, at the same time, might have constrained it. The use of other, non-classical model organisms from all biological kingdoms could reveal undetected molecular pathways and better-defined morphological types of cell death. Here we discuss what is known and what might be learned from these alternative model systems.
