Apoptosis

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is an essential process for maintaining balance and homeostasis in multicellular organisms. This complex biochemical signaling mechanism plays a fundamental role in eliminating damaged or unwanted cells, as well as in regulating the size and function of tissues and organs. Apoptosis can be triggered by various signals, including the loss of signals between cells, the lack of signaling molecules, or the activation of death receptors through ligand binding.

During apoptosis, signaling cascades are activated, leading to the activation of specific enzymes responsible for triggering the controlled degradation of the cell. Understanding the components and processes involved in apoptosis is crucial not only for basic biomedical research but also for diseases where it plays a key role, such as cancer or neurodegenerative diseases.

In the following section, you will find antibodies, proteins, small molecules, and kits related to apoptotic processes.
