Apoptosis, named as programmed cell death, represents one form of cell death and has a crucial role in the tissue homeostasis. Be\u00adsides this, apoptosis is involved in a number of pathological conditions, such as cancer, auto-im\u00admune diseases and viral infections. Morphologi\u00adcal characteristics of apoptosis are cell shrinkage, nuclear chromatin condensation and formation of apoptotic bodies. Apoptosis is genetically regu\u00adlated process of cell death with biochemical fea\u00adture of enzymes activation, involving cleavage of nuclear DNA by endonuclease and responsibi\u00adlity of transglutaminase for formation of apoptotic bodies. In multicellular organisms apoptosis serves as a clean and efficient mechanism for the elimination of unwanted cells, that may have been produced in excess, which have been da\u00admaged or whose function is no longer required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
