Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is an active process by which cells initiate their own self-destruction. Growing evidence shows that this event is controlled by the activation of unique gene expression; some function as survival genes, such as bcl2, and others as killer genes, such as ced3 or interleukin converting enzyme. Likewise, external factors, such as the presence or absence of stimuli in the...
