Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Apoptosis is the programmed cell death mechanism used to eliminate aged, mutated, unwanted, or uncontrolled cells in the multicellular organisms. Caspase (cysteine protease) proteins play a crucial role in mediating the apoptotic mechanism. The morphological features of apoptosis undergoing cells are membrane blebbing, shrinkage of cells, chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation, and formation of apoptotic bodies. Macrophages engulf these apoptotic bodies and thereby this mechanism prevents necrosis (accidental cell death) and inflammation.

Clinical Case Study
Four generations of the DOE family live in the southeastern United States: 72 -year old grandmother Nancy, 44-year old father Chad, Chad's oldest daughter, Gina, 23 years old, and Gina's 18 month-old son Joseph. As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions.
While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes.
1) Besides blood and urine, what are other body fluids that can be collected for diagnostic purposes?
2) Do you believe that there are body fluids that are only clinically relevant at certain time points in life? Or, instead, are the diagnostic utility of these fluids equal across the lifespan?

"The successful use of gene therapy to cure SCID syndrome (2000) is hoped to be a permanent cure for those patients because a good copy of the problem gene was inserted into the patients' blood stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). Once white blood cells enter the blood stream they have a limited life span, on the order of a few week to months. The blood stem cells are the cells that create more white blood cells to replace those that are lost. If the gene was only inserted into the circulating mature white blood cells, the patient would only be temporarily cured until those cells were used up or died."
