  • Apoptoza = Apoptosis
    Jezernik, Kristijan
    Apoptosis is programmed cell death occurring as a result of a genetic program activated by developmental and environmental stimuli. Apoptosis is a normal physiological event. Disregulation of the ... genetic programme for apop- tosis can trigger pathologic events, embryonic lethality, changes of postnatal development and increased risk of cancer. Therapeutic agents affecting the regulation of apoptosis open new possibilities of treatment of a number of apoptosis-induced diseases, including cancer. When cellular degeneration is a resutt of a disease process, recovery may be obtained by either inducing or inhibiting apoptosis. Recently, new apoptosis-regulating genes have been identified, which may provide targets for many drugs developed to treat apoptosis-induced diseases.
