This issue presents a Focus of specially commissioned articles that discuss cell death in its multiple forms, implications for homeostatic physiology and disease and outstanding questions in this expanding field.

We celebrate the 25th anniversary of Nature Cell Biology with a series of commissioned content and an online collection of research articles across the journal’s broad scope. We look back at biological discoveries and discuss the roles of cell biologists in sustainability, our ongoing commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion, and goals for mentoring the next generation of cell scientists.
