Cancer and Apoptosis
Apoptosis is a type of programmed cell death. With respect to cell necrosis, apoptosis is actively performed by cells. Apoptosis is generally induced by physiological or pathological factors, which in turn trigger a series of cellular changes. These changes include blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, chromosomal DNA fragmentation, and global mRNA decay.
