Also known as GO:0006915, apoptotic cell death, apoptotic programmed cell death, apoptosis, programmed cell death by apoptosis

Apoptosis (from ) is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms and in some eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms such as yeast. Biochemical events lead to characteristic cell changes (morphology) and death. These changes include blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, and mRNA decay. The average adult human loses 50 to 70 billion cells each day to apoptosis. For the average human child between 8 and 14 years old, each day the approximate loss is 20 to 30 billion cells.

AI overview

Apoptosis is a natural process in which cells in your body deliberately self-destruct through a series of internal chemical signals, resulting in characteristic changes like cell shrinkage and the breaking apart of the cell's DNA. This programmed cell death is essential for life—healthy adults lose between 50 and 70 billion cells daily through apoptosis, making it a normal and necessary part of how living organisms maintain themselves.

Anatomy.Caption
An etoposide-treated DU145 prostate cancer cell exploding into a cascade of apoptotic bodies. The sub images were extracted from a 61-hour time-lapse microscopy video, created using quantitative phase-contrast microscopy. The optical thickness is color-coded. With increasing thickness, color changes from gray to yellow, red, purple and finally black. />See the video at The Cell: An Image Library
