Regulated cell death is a major mechanism to eliminate damaged, infected, or superfluous
cells. Previously, apoptosis was thought to be the only regulated cell death mechanism; …

The mode of cell death termed apoptosis, sometimes referred to as programmed cell death,
is as critical a determinant of cell population size as is cell proliferation. Although best …

As recently as 1993, fewer than 10 manuscripts had been published on the topic of
apoptosis specifically in the lung. Although that number is increasing, far fewer papers …

To date, increasing evidence suggests the possible involvement of various types of cell
death in lung diseases. The recognized regulated cell death includes necrotic cell death that …

Apoptosis and other forms of programmed cell death are important contributors to lung
pathophysiology. In this brief review, we discuss some of the implications of finding apoptotic …

Apoptosis has been considered as an underlying mechanism in acute lung injury/acute
respiratory distress syndrome and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome. Recently, several …

Emphysema, which with chronic bronchitis accounts for model of emphysema initiated by
blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors (8), Aoshiba most of the …

Apoptosis is a form of cell death that has gained enormous attention during the past few
years, and its mechanisms, important to biology and medicine, are being unraveled at an …

Lung epithelium is the primary site of lung damage in various lung diseases. Epithelial cell
apoptosis has been considered to be initial event in various lung diseases. Apoptosis …

Cell death by apoptosis has fundamental significance in both normal lung homeostasis and
a variety of pathologic processes, and for this reason apoptosis in the lung is a rapidly …
