  • Published:
Russian Journal of Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Extensively and successfully studied problems of programmed cell death are considered. Recent evidence on apoptosis genes is presented, including the bcl-2 family and other genes with similar functions. A scheme of pathways of the main apoptosis mechanism is constructed. Examples of associations of apoptosis and diseases are presented in a special section.
