DEGRADATION PHASE OF APOPTOSIS DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF HUMAN METANEPHROS DEVELOPMENT
- Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Medicine, Palacký University, Olomouc, Czech Republic
Apoptosis as a vital process is necessary for human intrauterine development. Not only the induction and course of apoptosis, but engulfment of the apoptotic cells (bodies) were the centre of our interest. Macrophages were detected in the early stages of human intrauterine development and the role of macrophages in the clearance of apoptotic cells in the early stages of human metanephros development was confirmed.
