BIOCHEMICAL MECHANISMS OF APOPTOSIS

Abstract

Relevance. Apoptosis is a genetically programmed and highly regulated process of cell death that plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis in the organism. Disruption of apoptotic processes has been shown to contribute to the development of various diseases. Insufficient apoptosis can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation, creating conditions for cancer development. Therefore, an in-depth study of the biochemical mechanisms of apoptosis is essential for understanding intracellular signaling pathways, enzyme systems, and genetic regulatory processes. This knowledge serves as an important scientific basis for the development of new diagnostic methods and effective therapeutic strategies.
