细胞凋亡(apoptosis)源于希波哥拉得词语,指秋叶凋落而言。早在100多年前CarlVogt就已发现,1972年kerr和Wyllie提出了它在形态上与坏死细胞的死亡不同,而称为细胞凋亡。近年的研究证实凋亡与肿瘤的发生、发展、消退等存在密切的关系。部分学者认为肿瘤是由于细胞的增殖和凋亡失 Apoptosis originates from the term Hippocrates, which refers to the fall of autumn leaves. As early as more than 100 years ago CarlVogt has found that in 1972 kerr and Wyllie proposed that it morphologically different from the death of necrotic cells, called apoptosis. Recent studies have confirmed that apoptosis and tumor occurrence, development, regression and so there is a close relationship. Some scholars believe that the tumor is due to cell proliferation and apoptosis loss
