Heat shock and apoptosis. The two defense systems of the organism may have overlapping molecular elements.
Stress response and apoptosis are two interrelated end points of the defense systems of living organisms. The molecular elements of the two have strong influences on each other. Ceramide formation and signal-induced phosphorylation cascades may be critical in determining the final fate of cells exposed to environmental changes.
