Factors Apoptosis
Apoptosis is defined as a mechanism of cell death which occurs after sufficient cellular damage. It is a method of cellular death that is orchestrated by the cell itself and leads to their removal with no subsequent inflammation or stress. Apoptosis occurs during development and ageing and is a vital component of cell turnover.
