REVIEW {blacksquare} : Keeping Neurons Alive: The Molecular Control of Apoptosis (Part I

Dale E. Bredesen

Program on Aging La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation La Jolla, California

Apoptosis is a form of cellular suicide in which the cell activates an intrinsic program to bring about its own demise. Recognized for years as the mechanism by which developing cells are lost naturally, it has become apparent recently that this same process may play an important role in many acute and chronic diseases in which neural cell death occurs, such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease. This growing recognition suggests that a knowledge of the gene products controlling this process may lead to improved treatments for some disease states, as well as to improved understanding of neuronal development, physiology, and pathophysiology. Some controls with important roles in neural apoptosis have been identified, and these controls, as well as their putative mechanisms of action, are described in this article.
