Abstract:Apoptosis and cell proliferation are the main mechanisms of cell homeostasis. The pathogenesis of approximately 70 % of all diseases results from an imbalance between these two counterparts. Therefore, research on apoptosis is a main target in biological and clinical fields. Many signalling pathways and proteins involved in their regulation have been characterized. In order to evaluate the relevance of apoptosis in plastic surgery, the literature was reviewed for its impact on ischemia and reperfusion concerni… Show more
