摘要:
Apoptosis, an active mechanism of cell death, is an important process in many biological systems. Apoptosis is thought to contribute to many disease processes. This notion has raised expectations that therapeutic opportunities will naturally follow once a better understanding of these processes has been achieved. The regulation of apoptosis in normal and malignant haematological diseases represents an important theraputic approach in the treatment of leukaemia and lymphoma. This review summarises recent developments in the clinical manipulation of apoptosis pathways in haematological therapy.
