Summary Introduction
To review:
The activation state of CED-9 (Cell death abnormality gene 9) plays a crucial role in apoptosis.
Introduction:
Apoptosis is also called programmed cell death. This type of cell death occurs orderly, which involves the cell shrinkage, and nuclear and chromosomal fragmentation leading to cell death. It helps in the removal of cancerous and infected cells from the body.
