Programmed cell death

Through nuclear fragmentation

Global mRNA decay

And chromatin condensation

Cellular suicide - Apoptosis

Death from inside – Apoptosis

Mediated by caspases

Inducing immunologic effects

Terminating cancer cells

Eliminating defects

Growth through decay – Apoptosis

Withering away – Apoptosis

Intrinsic and extrinsic

Both pathways bring the end

Necrotic form engaged

Destruction from within
