Abstract:
A variety of extra-cellular signals could activate the target molecules and induce the associated biological effects depended on different signal pathways. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a conservation process essential for normal development and homeostasis of biologist. It's known that a number of factors and pathways can lead to apoptosis. Specific phosphorlipids and proteins of biomembrane could activate the signal cascades of apoptosis. The interaction of caspases, bcl-2 family and mitochondria play an essential role in regulation of apoptosis.
