Essentials of Apoptosis: A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research

Buy
Life and death are topics that no one takes lightly. In the cell, death by apoptosis is just as fundamental as proliferation for the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis. Too much or too little apoptosis can lead to developmental abnormality, degenerative diseases, or cancers. Although apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), has been recognized for more than 100 years, its significance and its molecular mechanisms were not revealed until recently.

We have witnessed rapid progress in apoptosis research in the last decade. Apoptosis can now be defined not only by morphology, but also by molecular and biochemical mechanisms. As a result, there has been an information explosion in the field. On one hand, this has dramatically expanded our understanding of the role of apoptosis in both biology and medicine; on the other hand, it has made the study of apoptosis quite complicated, and sometimes confusing. One often wonders whether findings from other laboratories can be generalized or whether the methods used can be made applicable to other systems.

Studies of apoptosis are unusual in that the common focus on a basic process that is driven by specific sets of biochemical machinery is studied in an array of very diverse research areas. Investigators from different fields have documented their views of apoptosis in numerous review articles. These reviews, published in various scientific journals, are aimed at either summarizing the latest findings or providing brief introductions to apoptosis. However, essential information about apoptosis, such as its mechanisms and pathophysiological roles, has yet to be presented in a systematic and concise way. This has posed a great hurdle to many investigators who want to enter this field or to apply the knowledge to their own research, and are not sure where and how to begin.

Essentials of Apoptosis: A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research serves as a starting point for those investigators who are relatively new to apoptosis research. Therefore, instead of describing detailed findings in one specific field, we present the concepts, the molecular architecture (the molecules and the pathways), and the pathophysiological significance of apoptosis. Controversial results are presented only if they are related to the essential process. In addition, standard biochemical and cellular approaches to apoptosis research are described as a guideline for bench work. Essentials of Apoptosis: A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research is intended to provide readers with the basics of apoptosis in order to stimulate their interests and to prepare them for the commencement of apoptosis-related research in their chosen areas. We hope that Essentials of Apoptosis: A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research will prove useful reading for all those interested in apoptosis research.
