细胞死亡的分类和意义

Classification of cell death and its significance

细胞死亡与细胞增殖是对立面，是机体的基本细胞生物学机制之一。近年来报道的越来越多的细胞死亡方式令人困惑。最近细胞死亡命名委员会（NCCD）的细胞死亡分类建议书梳理了相关的研究进展，使概念更清晰。文章概述其主要精神，补充一些文献资料，并探讨细胞死亡研究的意义。

Cell death as the partner of cell proliferation is one of the basic mechanism in cell biology. Recently, it became obscure since more and more patterns of cell death were reported. However, the ＂classification of cell death＂, which was recommended by the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death （NCCD） in 2009, clarified the criteria. The theme of the recommendation and recent data from the literature were discussed in this review. The significance of studies on cell death was discussed.
