Pathways of apoptosis and importance in development.

Abstract excerpt

The elimination of cells by programmed cell death is a fundamental event in development where multicellular organisms regulate cell numbers or eliminate cells that are functionally redundant or potentially detrimental to the organism. The evolutionary conservation of the biochemical and genetic regulation of programmed cell death across species has allowed the genetic pathways of programmed cell death determined...
