Main Results:

  • Apoptosis is essential in both normal cellular functions and disease states like cancer.
  • Specific genes regulating apoptosis have been identified.
  • Mutations or abnormal expression of these genes are associated with cancer development and treatment resistance.

Conclusions:

  • Apoptosis is a fundamental process with implications for cancer biology.
  • Dysregulation of apoptosis contributes to tumorigenesis and therapeutic challenges.
  • Targeting apoptosis pathways presents promising strategies for future cancer treatments.
