Abstract

There are two distinct forms of cell death; necrosis and apoptosis. Necrosis is the traumatical cell death that occurs after physical and chemical factors. Apoptosis is the genetically regulated cell death that permits the safe disposal of cells when they are damaged or completed their intended biological function. There are many differences between necrosis and apoptosis including biochemical and morphological changes. Finally, knowledge of molecular mechanisms of apoptosis provides insights into the causes of multiple abnormalities involving in the regulation of aberrant cell death and encourages new approches for the treatment of human diseases.
