Life and death of the cell.
The study of apoptosis is among the most active and fast-moving areas of biomedical research. New insights into the genetic and biochemical mechanisms involved in this morphologically distinct form of cell death are providing a better understanding of many different diseases and may permit the development of prophylactic and therapeutic agents to regulate and preserve normal cellular functions.
