Apoptosis Programmed Cell Death

The video explains apoptosis, a process of programmed cell death crucial for organismal health. It discusses how apoptosis prevents cancer by eliminating faulty cells and details the molecular mechanisms involved. The video explores apoptosis in C. elegans, highlighting key genes and proteins, and contrasts this with the more complex human system. It also covers the role of apoptosis in development and its implications in diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
