Apoptosis is the natural process of programmed cell death (PCD) that occurs in multi-celled organisms. Billions of cells in a healthy adult die each day, either through simple changes or death. These cells are disposed from the body by being engulfed by other cells in order to control damage. <\/p>\n

Apoptosis can be beneficial, such as in the creation of individual fingers and toes in a human embryo, or harmful, as with neurodegenerative conditions or tumor formations where apoptosis is excessive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
