## Abstract Apoptosis is a physiological mechanism allowing for the removal of abundant or potentially harmful cells. The hallmarks of apoptosis include degradation of cellular DNA, exposure of phosphatidylserine at the outer leaflet of the cell membrane and cell shrinkage. Phosphatidylserine expos

The homeostatic control of beta-cell mass in normal and pathological conditions is based on the balance of proliferation, differentiation, and death of the insulin-secreting cells. A considerable body of evidence, accumulated during the last decade, has emphasized the significance of the disregulati
Cell death is an integral part of the functioning of the immune system. For T cells, potentially autoreactive or 'useless' cells are removed through apoptosis in response to signals (or lack of signals) from their T cell receptor complex. A myriad of proteins that can initiate or protect cells from
