Apoptosis is the regulated form of cell death. It is a complex process defined by a set of characteristic morphological and biochemical features that involves the active participation of affected cells in a self-destruction cascade. This programmed cell death plays a critical role in physiological functions such as cell deletion during embryonic development, balancing cell number in continuously renewing tissues and immune system development.Additionally, a dysregulation of apoptosis is underlying in numerous pathological situations such as Parkinson, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. A number of studies have pointed out an association between consumption of fruits and vegetables, and certain beverages such as tea and wine, which are rich in polyphenols, with reduced risk of chronic diseases, including cancer. Apoptosis is also the regulatory mechanism involved in the removal of unnecessary cells during development and in tissue homeostasis in a wide range of organisms from insects to mammals. This book presents important research from around the world.

This text describes procedures for studying the phenomenon of programmed cell death/apoptosis. Each chapter begins with an overview of the methodology to be employed, and goes on to provide detailed experimental protocols in an easy-to-use, step-by-step format. A complementary title to this book is "Membrane Protein Expression Systems".

Apoptosis is an essential process in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, particularly in the prevention of disease. Written from a genetic viewpoint, Genetics of Apoptosis first describes the molecular and cell biology of apoptosis, then examines the process in more detail in several model systems. This volume brings together contributions from internationally renowned authors, and will be a valuable reference to all researchers studying apoptosis.

Apoptosis plays a central role in the regulation of cell proliferation. Disruption of this control mechanism may cause serious human diseases such as encephalomyelitis and cancer. Thus, understanding of the molecular mechanisms of apoptotic cell death should lead to fundamental advances in the therapy of these diseases.

This book summarizes recent reports on adhesion-dependent regulation of apoptosis. The author discusses data indicating that highly metastatic cancer cells exhibit a superior survival ability and resistance to apoptosis induced by diverse external signals. He also shows that increased survival of metastatic cancer cells compared to nonmetastatic or poorly metastatic cells is associated with their enhanced galectin-mediated homotypic aggregation and dysfunction of adhesion-dependent regulation of apoptosis. Profound deficiency of two major apoptosis execution mechanisms has been identified as a main characteristic of apoptosis failure in metastatic cancer cells.

This volume deals with many of the recent advances made in uncovering the molecular and cellular basis of apoptosis and elaborates on how this accumulating knowledge is helping us to understand the significance of apoptosis in pathogenesis of diseases arising from inappropriate cell death. Further, mechanistic aspects of cell death and role of apoptosis in disease is covered.

The past few years have seen rapid progress in apoptosis research. This volume deals with many of the recent advances made in uncovering the molecular and cellular basis of apoptosis, with particular emphasis to the role of apoptosis in normal biological processes and the mechanisms involved. The articles published in this volume are written by leading experts in the field and should be a vital resource for researchers in biomedicine.

The maturation phenomenon refers to postischemic changes that develop hours or days following an ischemic insult. The delayed neuronal death of CA1 pyramidical cells of the hippocampus is a classic example. The report of the phenomenon has boosted research in this field, as it became evident that ischemic damage is not a sudden event but a process potentially susceptible to therapeutic intervention. In September 1990, the first international symposium on "Maturation Phenomenon in Cerebral Ischemia" was held in Tokyo. The second symposium was organized in Tokyo in March/April 1996. Since then, new developments have rapidly delivered information about the molecular nature and dynamics of mechanisms concerning cell death and recovery. This book contains the presentations of the 3rd international symposium held in Pozilly/Italy in April 1998. It outlines the present status of the investigation and provides further stimulation for research in this field.
