What's more, they died by programmed cell death, or apoptosis, the authors show.

Neutrophil recruitment thus ceases and programmed death by apoptosis is engaged.

Accelerating apoptosis may have applications to development of cancer treatments.

The eye discs were stained with active caspase 3 to allow detection of apoptosis.

We illustrate these ideas using new and previously published models of apoptosis.

Thus, apoptosis serves as a powerful selective pressure for the virus to evade.

- A type of cell death in which the cell uses specialized cellular machinery to kill itself; a cell suicide mechanism that enables metazoans to control cell number and eliminate cells that threaten the animal's survival
- Apoptosis (or) is the process of programmed cell death (PCD) that may occur in multicellular organisms. Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes (morphology) and death. ...
- A process of programmed cell death by which cells undergo an ordered sequence of events which lead to death of the cell, as occurs during growth and development of the organism, as a part of normal cell aging, or as a response to cellular injury
- Apoptosis is the process a cell in the body goes through when it dies. Apoptosis is a scheduled process, controlled by the body.
- Process of cell death that results from turning on specific, active processes in the cell that lead the cell to kill itself. This happens normally in some tissues, for example, during embryonic development when some groups of cells are removed from the animal. ...
- The death of cells as a function of their intrinsic mechanisms.
- A form of cell death involving shrinking of the cell and eventual disposal of the internal elements of the cell by the body's immune system. Apoptosis is an active, non-toxic form of cell suicide that does not induce an inflammatory response. ...
- Cell death that occurs naturally as part of normal development, maintenance, and renewal of tissues within an organism.
- A type of cell death in which the cell basically commits suicide; scientists believe some types of cancer may originate from an interruption of this programmed cell death, allowing cells to grow out of control.
