Apoptosis
A type of cell programmed death
Give example of non apoptotic programmed cell death
Autophagy and regulated necrosis
Apoptosis depends on which protein
Caspase
How does caspases affect necroptosis?
Caspases provide a negative feedback to it
What is the key mediator of necroptosis
Receptors interacting protein
What is autophagy and how does it work?
It is an incharge cellular degradation process of cytoplasmic component through the formation of autophagosome and when it fuses with lysosome it forms autolysosome. Enzymatic breakdown kills the cell.
What are the morphological changes that occurs in apoptotic cells?
Cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation (pyknosis), nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing
