APOPTOSIS PATHWAY, A PROGRAMMED PROCESS OF CELL DEATH

Apoptosis pathway, also named programmed cell death, is a fundament process required for morphogenetic homeostasis during early development and in pathophysiological conditions (1).

The Apoptosis may be induced by a variety of agents, including low doses of radiation, hypoxia, heat, cytotoxic drugs or more specialized anti-cancer molecules (4).

APOPTOSIS PATHWAY AND DISEASES

The apoptosis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson, Alzheimer, Huntington, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), diseases involving the eyes (Glaucoma, Retinal diseases, Age related macular degeneration, Retinitis dystrophies, Dry eye disease…) (2), in cancer (1)
Recent studies show that dysregulation of apoptosis contributes to multidrug resistance (4).
