“APOPTOSIS, a regulated programmed cell death, is a process whereby cells are culled from healthy tissue. It is important during tissue development, the regulation and termination of an immune response, and the removal of damaged or infected cells. Biochemically, apoptosis is the orderly, immunologically silent dismantling of a cell following the activation of a family of cysteine proteases known as caspases.”
