Apoptosis--molecular mechanisms and biomedical implications

D J McConkey et al. Mol Aspects Med. 1996 Feb.

Abstract

Apoptosis is a distinct form of cell death of importance in tissue development and homeostasis and in several diseases. This review summarizes current knowledge about the regulation and molecular mechanisms of apoptosis and discusses the potential role of disregulated apoptosis in several major diseases. Finally, we speculate that modulation of apoptosis may be a target in future drug therapy.
