Dose‐dependent induction of apoptosis in human tumour cell lines by widely diverging stimuli

Abstract excerpt

Cell death may occur by either of two mechanisms: apoptosis or necrosis. Necrosis, the first type of cell death to be recognized, is an uncontrolled degenerative phenomenon invariably caused by noxious stimuli and is the result of irreversible failure of membrane function. Apoptosis, on the other hand, is a death process which involves a series of well-organized events which require active cell participation, and...
