The role of apoptosis during craniofacial development: concepts and importance in pathology

Revue médicale de Bruxelles

Abstract

Apoptosis is an essential common final pathway in numerous pathological conditions such as malignant tumors, HIV-related CD4 lymphocytes degeneration, neurodegenerative disorders, and in programmed cell death events during normal embryogenesis. Some teratogenic substances for man and laboratory mammals induce an increase of the apoptotic phenomenon, responsible for the occurrence of some precise cranio-maxillo-facial malformations. The study of cell death during normal or teratogenic embryonic development allows to analyse the cellular mechanisms implied in the control of the apoptotic phenomenon, together with its dysregulation ending in pathological processes. We review the cell death phenomenon during cephalogenesis, both during normal embryogenesis, or in teratogenic conditions known to induce cranio-maxillo-facial malformations.

HIV/AIDS infection increases the risk of non-communicable diseases common in the aged including HIV/AIDS-related malignancies. Discover the latest research in HIV/AIDS-related malignancies.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
