Author's Note: I heard the concept of anoikis discussed in a lecture, and the word stuck in my head. Being who I am, I (almost) immediately thought of Babylon 5. :)
from The Wiki: The word Anoikis was coined by Frisch and Francis in a paper published in the Journal of Cell Biology in 1994. Anoikis, in their words, means "(...the state of being without a home) to describe the cells' apoptotic response to the absence of cell–matrix interactions."
