Abstract

Apoptosis is characterized by DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation and plasma membrane blebbing. These apoptotic processes have been mainly associated with genetic mechanisms. Recently, these processes have been also associated with mitochondrial events that include the release of cytochrome c and Diablo/SMAC by modulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability.(omitted)
