Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death (PCD) is physiologically involved in the regulation of cell division and differentiation. It encompasses caspase-dependent mitochondrial and nonmitochondrial pathways. Additional caspase-independent pathways have been characterized in mitochondrial PCDs but remain hypothetical in nonmitochondrial PCDs. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been shown to inhibit division of pituitary...
