Trace elements and apoptosis.
It is known that apoptosis is considered to be responsible for selective deletion of cells during embryogenesis, the homeostasis of cell populations in continuously renewing tissues (i.e., serving as a counterbalance to mitosis), and tissue involution in response to chemical or physical stimuli. There are many publications on these questions. On the other hand, the intracellular processes that contribute to apoptosis are incompletely understood. Therefore, the role of apoptosis in the intracellular accumulation and outflow of minerals is of considerable importance in light of both their essential functions and toxic effects.
