FLICE-Inhibitory Proteins: Regulators of Death Receptor-Mediated Apoptosis
Year: 2001
Type: review
Abstract: Cell death is executed along several pathways. Apart from necrotic cell death occurring upon tissue injury, several distinct types of apoptosis have been observed. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is critical for tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. It plays an important role in many physiological processes, especially in development and in the immune system (39, 80). Many diseases are associated with either too much or too little apoptosis, such as AIDS, cancer, and autoimmunity (39).
