Overview

Apoptosis is a process through which cells self-destruct in a highly regulated and programmed manner. It has an important role in preventing the proliferation of damaged or unwanted cells and promoting the normal development of an organism. Apoptosis also plays an essential role in ensuring that the balance between cell death and cell division is maintained. Defective apoptosis has been linked to a variety of diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurological diseases. Therefore, an understanding of the biochemical pathways leading to apoptosis is essential for developing treatments for these diseases. Additionally, apoptosis can also be used therapeutically for the induction of cell death in cancerous cells, making it an important tool in the treatment of cancer.
