Apoptosis

Molecular classification: Biological Process

Overview

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms and some single-celled eukaryotes. It is a highly regulated, ATP-dependent process involving enzyme-mediated, genetically programmed mechanisms to eliminate cells that are no longer needed or pose a threat to the organism. This process is essential for normal development, tissue homeostasis, and immune system function.
