[Genetically programmed cell death (apoptosis)].
Extensively and successfully studied problems of programmed cell death are considered. Recent evidence on apoptosis genes is presented, including the bcl-2 family and other genes with similar functions. A scheme of pathways of the main apoptosis mechanism is constructed. Examples of associations of apoptosis and diseases are presented in a special section.
