apoptosis

Re Quotient: The cool thing about these TNF receptors is that not all of them lead to apoptosis.

Name the final edge in the transduction graph of a proliferation, apoptosis, or cell cycle regulation pathway.

Keeping radiation-damaged cells from undergoing apoptosis sounds like a great way to make sure you get cancer.

Reaching a beyond repair stage leads to apoptosis, or genetically programmed cell death; in other news, the cell commits suicide.

Cannabinoids have even been shown to induce apoptosis (essentially reversing cancer cell growth).

Your point about overriding apoptosis is a good one, however in cases when the patient will die of radiation poisoning, cancer becomes of secondary importance.

If they had dozens of TNFs, then it would be much easier for their apoptosis processes to be triggered by external influences, which could prove debilitating.

If it is, they either tag it for apoptosis or terminate it with a micro laser, depending on how reliable they think each method would be.

The expanding tree of gibberish seemed infinite—apoptosis, phenotypic, desmosome—until, one day, it wasn’t.

Neurons also store information chemically; and Parnia observes that keeping the brain oxygenated is essential to recovery because brain cells enter apoptosis in the absence of oxygen.

Which, like apoptosis, is eventually a good thing.

If the cell is ordered to commit suicide (apoptosis), it will put out an enzyme that neutralizes this alarm molecule before ripping itself to shreds, the same will happen if the immune system orders a cell to eat itself (autophagy).

There's a biological phenomenon called "apoptosis," which may give us hints into the cause and behavior of suicides.

Indeed, using transcript analysis, the researchers found that, like cancer cells, senescent cells have increased expression of "pro-survival networks" that help them resist apoptosis or programmed cell death.

Second, the T cell undergoes "Negative Selection" by interacting with thymic dendritic cell whereby T cells with high affinity interaction are eliminated through apoptosis (to avoid autoimmunity), and those with intermediate affinity survive.

Normally this is done to ensure that random component failure results in no visible service interuption, but in this situation, you'd also be able to reuse the same "apoptosis" signal the chaos monkey sends to just kill everything at once.

Apoptosis (suicide) of a cell before it gets more/all of these (assuming they're irreperable, which is the first resort, of course) is a fantastic safety mechanism.

Apoptosis, simply put, is a cell-level suicide (or programmed cell death), which happens from multiple causes, but generally for the beneficial effects to the entire body, which happens to be a tragic outcome for the cell itself.
