Fas triggers apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in response to a variety of cell insults.
Activation of the encoded protein can trigger apoptosis.
ECP triggers apoptosis by caspase-8 activation through mitochondria-independent pathway.
IFN-γ is able to trigger lymphocytic apoptosis.
These damaged nuclei trigger apoptosis to alleviate any harm a damaged cell may cause to neighboring cells.
Consequently, Bok accumulates in the nucleus and triggers apoptosis.
Capsaicin may be able to trigger apoptosis in human lung cancer cells as well.
When a cell's DNA is damaged by a virus, and if the cell cannot repair itself, this often triggers apoptosis.
Loss of contact with substratum triggers apoptosis in many normal cell types, a phenomenon termed anoikis.
Viruses can trigger apoptosis of infected cells via a range of mechanisms including:
