Abstract:
Apoptosis may play an important role in organ development and balance maintenance, which is beneficial to clear away the abnormal cells. Some teratogens may affect the key apoptotic genes expression, including the genetic defects, the nutritional, and the environmental factors, etc. Apoptotic dysfunction would interfere with the bodys normal development and result in deformity.
