Naturally occurring cell death or apoptosis is essential for the maintenance of tissue
homeostasis and serves to remove extraneous or dangerous cells in a swift and unobtrusive …

Apoptosis is a distinct form of cell death of importance in tissue development and
homeostasis and in several diseases. This review summarizes current knowledge about the …

Since the initial description of apoptosis, a number of different forms of cell death have been
described. In this review we will focus on classic caspase-dependent apoptosis and its …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of several recent advances in the
study of apoptosis, integrating the molecular events with the physiological and …

The process of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is generally characterized by distinct
morphological characteristics and energy-dependent biochemical mechanisms. Apoptosis is …

Unwanted cells are removed by physiological cell death processes that are highly
conserved throughout the animal kingdom. Physiological cell death plays an important role …

Apoptosis, known as programmed cell death, is a conserved, gene-directed mechanism for
the elimination of unnecessary or unwanted cells from an organism. A retrospective look at …

Apoptosis, a genetically regulated form of cell death with distinct biochemical and
morphological features, plays a relevant physiological and pathological role in the organism …

Apoptosis is the genetically regulated form of cell death that permits the safe disposal of
cells at the point in time when they have fulfilled their intended biological function. Examples …

Apoptosis is a highly regulated process of cell death with characteristic morphological
changes that are distinct from necrosis. The biochemical machinery responsible for …
