A small percentage of cells in the cluster would start committing suicide through a process called apoptosis.
(Programmed cell death is also a normal component of human development, where it's called apoptosis).
Cells sometimes enter a state of resistance to signals sent, as part of a process called apoptosis, to instruct cells to destroy themselves.
Recent studies indicate that another form of cell death called apoptosis also plays a role in the process of tissue damage subsequent to myocardial infarction.
Proteins containing a pyrin domain are frequently involved in biological processes called inflammation and apoptosis.
This is a process called apoptosis.
Their gene is quite similar to another known gene that prevents cells from committing suicide, an innate cellular process called apoptosis.
After metamorphosis, these organs become redundant and will be resorbed by controlled cell death, called apoptosis.
In the final experiments, the output was a protein that can induce the cancer cells to commit a sort of orderly suicide called apoptosis.
Kerr had initially used the term programmed cell necrosis, but in the article, the process of natural cell death was called apoptosis.
