Induction of Apoptosis
- Molecular classification
- Pathway, Biological Process
01
Overview
Induction of apoptosis refers to the initiation phase of programmed cell death, a tightly regulated process essential for development, tissue homeostasis, and defense against disease. Apoptosis can be triggered by various internal or external stimuli through intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic (death receptor) pathways. Both pathways converge on executioner caspases, leading to controlled cellular dismantling. Dysregulation of apoptosis is implicated in various diseases.
