Apoptosis is an active form of cellular death, or suicide, which plays an important physiologic role during organ development and in cellular turnover in differentiated tissues. Apoptosis has also been demonstrated to occur in several organs in response to hypoxic/ ischemic, oxidative, or drug-induc

Electrogenesis of embryonic chick skeletal muscle cells differentiated in monolayer cultures was investigated. Muscle fibers in uitro generate spike potentials similar to those of fibers in wino. However, other responses, plateaux resembling those i n heart muscle, are also elicited. These results s
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) receptors are emerging as key sites for regulation by pro-and anti-apoptotic factors. Induction of apoptosis for 3 h increased mRNA and protein levels of type 1 IP 3 receptors in non-differentiated (ND), but not in differentiated (D) PC12 cells. Inhibitors of the
