apoptosi

Also known as GO:0006915, apoptotic cell death, apoptotic programmed cell death, apoptosis, programmed cell death by apoptosis

morte cellulare programmata

AI overview

Apoptosis is a natural process in which cells in your body deliberately self-destruct through a series of internal chemical signals, resulting in characteristic changes like cell shrinkage and the breaking apart of the cell's DNA. This programmed cell death is essential for life—healthy adults lose between 50 and 70 billion cells daily through apoptosis, making it a normal and necessary part of how living organisms maintain themselves.

The sub images were extracted from a 61-hour time-lapse microscopy video, created using quantitative phase-contrast microscopy. The optical thickness is color-coded. With increasing thickness, color changes from gray to yellow, red, purple and finally black. />See the video at The Cell: An Image Library

In biologia, il termine apoptòsi (coniato nel 1972 da , e a partire dal termine greco che indica la caduta delle foglie e dei petali dei fiori) indica una forma di morte cellulare programmata, termine con il quale il processo è stato tradizionalmente chiamato. Si tratta di un processo ben distinto rispetto alla necrosi cellulare, e in condizioni normali contribuisce al mantenimento del numero di cellule di un sistema. Di fatto, negli ultimi anni si sono identificati svariati meccanismi di morte con caratteristiche più o meno simili ora all'apoptosi, ora alla necrosi. Oggi la maggior parte degli autori è concorde nel definire l'apoptosi come un meccanismo di morte cellulare programmata che presenti coinvolgimento delle caspasi.
