摘要
APOPTOSIS is an active, inherently programmed cell death, which has typical morphologicaland biochemical characteristics. Cell death during embryonic development, shaping of the Tand B lymphocyte and tissue dystrophy related to endocrine is designated a physiological apop-tosis by which cell numbers can be effectively controlled. As a process opposite to cell division,there is a balance between apoptosis and cell proliferation. A tumor will develop once the bal-ance is disturbed and the cell division is more rapid than the cell death. Also, apoptosis is un-der the control of multiple molecular components, while cell division is under the control of thecell cycle engine. The precise control of cell proliferation and differentiation is essential for
