Apoptosis (s; from Ancient Greek ἀπό apo, `away from` and πτῶσις ptōsis, `falling`) is the process of programmed cell death (PCD) that may occur in multicellular organisms. Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes (morphology) and death. These changes include blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin ...

The most common form of physiological (as opposed to pathological) cell death. Apoptosis is an active process requiring metabolic activity by the dying cell; often characterized by shrinkage of the cell, cleavage of the DNA into fragments that give a so-called 'laddering pattern' on gels and by condensation and margination of chromatin. Often called programmed cell death, though this is not strictly accurate. Cells that die by apoptosis do not us …
