Apoptosis is a programmed cell death common in the immune system, characterized by DNA degradation, nuclear condensation, and rapid phagocytosis. It plays a role in lymphocyte development and immune responses.
Una forma de muerte celular común en el sistema inmunitario, en la que la célula activa un programa interno de muerte. Se caracteriza por la degradación del ADN nuclear, la degeneración y condensación nuclear, y la rápida fagocitosis de los restos celulares. Los linfocitos en proliferación experimentan altas tasas de esta forma de muerte celular durante su desarrollo y durante las respuestas inmunitarias.
| Front | A form of cell death common in the immune system, in which the cell activates an internal death program. It is characterized by nuclear DNA degradation, nuclear degeneration and condensation, and the rapid phagocytosis of cell remains. Proliferating lymphocytes experience high rates of this form of cell death during their development and during immune responses |
