1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is an active cellular process which regulates cell population size by decreasing cell survival. In this review the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of apoptosis in hemopoietic and non-hemopoietic cells are described, with specific focus on these issues in the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a myeloid clonal hemopathy.
