We review the main mathematical questions posed in blow-up problems for reaction-diffusion equations and discuss results of the author and collaborators on the subjects of continuation of solutions after blow-up, existence of transient blow-up solutions (so-called peaking solutions) and avalanche formation as a mechanism of complete blow-up.
